If it's an LED bulb, it's probably on it's way out. I find LED bulbs don't last any longer than 2 years, with 1 year being the typical life expectancy. :(
 
Could just be a slight interruption in power supply. Or a large electrical draw nearby. Not enough to turn anything off, but enough to cause a slight flickering.
 
I went through 4 months of sporadic mega flickering due to a cable decaying somewhere under the street. there were a couple times the puter fans started labouring etc, but there was no damage. the flickers are caused by voltage drops, no spikes, so there should be little risk to your machine. get yourself a surge protected plug anyways, just for safety.
 
Happens in my house from time to time. All of the lights dim slightly. Nothing has exploded yet. :)
 
aww man, it's your light bulb flickering now for 1ms.....well at least it isn't a 2fps drop during a 326hr bench mark or summat like that.
