Mend Switch Room Second

Delay between me hitting the switch and the light commming on. Why?

When I hit the light switch in the front room, the light doesn't come on immediately but a second or two after. The other lights in the flat work OK. Does anybody know any possible reason why is this happening? And is there a danger of electrical fire happening?
