    Possible that your service has a bad ground or is getting a bad ground. If some get bright and others get dim, it's a bad ground for sure.

    I, too, agree with Red. The problem could be in either your main panel or with the Power Company. Call your Power Company and tell them what is happening. They can check and see if the problem is before the electric meter or not.

    The voltage is varying for some reason. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
