Default Flickering headlight while putting top up or down

I have noticed for the first time today, that when I put the top of my 2014 boxster up or down, the headlights flicker pretty significantly. It stabilizes shortly after but I was wondering if this is normal or if there is anything I should watch out for.

thanks

John

Large electric loads often impart fluctuations to other loads.
Especially at idle.
This is an attribute of simple electric theory.

Susceptibility on roof activation though - if abnormal - might indicate a lower battery capacity or similar...
