Question Lights Dimming

OK, Alternator replaced 1K ago.
Now when I roll up windows (both front) the headlights and dash lights dim.
Once the battery light illuminated on dash.
Optima red top battery is 5 years old.
No other freeky electrical problems.
All ideas appreciated.

528. When did the lights begin to dim? Was it right after the alternator install or did it begin 1K miles after the install? If it was 1K miles after the install, I would suspect the battery. BTW, 5 years is pretty good life-span for a battery.
