Clean and polish the battery cable connections. Also check the cable connectors for corrosion and fraying. You are getting high resistance under a load. To be sure next time the light is on put your hand near the cable/battery posts. You will probably find they are to hot to touch.
If it continues after cleaning then you are faced with a failing cable.
