Often, this is due to a sudden increase in the load current due, for example, to the the starting current of a motor which has been switched on -this causes a temporary increase in the voltage drop along the line, which is often noticed when the lights in a property temporarily dim. Other causes could be due to external sources, such as a neighbour operating welding equipment.
