Wiring is either fraid, or bad somewhere, or you could just be lucky and its time for new bulbs. Change out your bulbs, see what that does, and if it doesnt work well youve got a wiring problem somehwere.

I would not think it is a bulb as all the lights are out. I would go more for tha dimmer control.

Yes, it is. You could have bad contacts in the control.
