Default dome light is flickering

Happy New year to everyone! just have a concern with my lights inside my car. I noticed that while the car is loaded ( lights, a/c etc.) you can tell that the supplies is lacking power as well as if you open the hazard. i tried to rev and it seems ok. the charge goes up . no signs from my panel im just wondering maybe the battery is giving a sign already? any idea? regards!

See if there is a voltage drop between the Alternator and battery.

Sounds like the alternator might be getting weak
