Thoughts & Stuff I Like When We Redid Our House

I went into my room and i flipped it on as i usually do, But for some reason the lights in the room began to "pulse" rapidly from bright to dim, And i could hear in my lightswitch a crackling noise, after 5 seconds it didn't stop, and i decided to shut my lightswitch off to make sure it does not catch fire.

I then got close to my lightswitch and smelled it, and it smells like smoke.

I'm not really sure what to do now, or if its safe to turn it on again.

If it helps, I'm in the florida area and the house i'm in was built only maybe 20 or so years ago.

Also, I'm not sure if its related, but before this incident, the light in this room seems to burn through the bulbs faster then any other room in the house, we have to change the lightbulb constantly compared to other rooms.

Thanks!
