Default All my lights flicker. Need help

Hey guys, I noticed that my headlights and all the dash lights will dim for a split second. It will do it about every 5 seconds. I had it idling and checked the volts with a handheld tester and it reads 13.3 volts even when it dims. Any idea what is going on?

Mine was doing the same thing, the battery was weak. I replaced the battery and all was well.
