It could be that you have a bad connection behind the fixture. If the wire nut is loose you will have voltage, but not as much current making the light dim. If the connection is bad, then it gets hot, the hotter it gets, the worse the connection can get. You get the picture. Also, the porcelain or bakelite plastic socket the bulb goes into has rivets at the base of it up inside the fixture. Sometimes these can become loose causing the same situation as above.

∙ 13y agomaybe it is an outdoor activity sensor light fixture and when you go inside and there is no activity outside so the light automatically shuts off
If it is a regular romex powered fixture that operates with the fuse box in the house then that light switch must be connected to an other line that is pulling power and probably shuts off each time you turn something else on. You will need to find out what that something else is and or that other power line that is overloaded -- you can remedy this when you find that overloaded powerline and change the breaker switch to a higher voltage output --
if the breaker switch is a 15 amp you may want to change it to a 20 amp
