Possibly a isolated fault due to the weather. I would expect a major power issue with the national grid to impact more than “traffic lights”
I don’t see why you have to insert quotation marks around traffic lights. That’s what they are. I also doubt they are plugged into the same domestic mains supply as homes nearby, but happy to be proven wrong. How different parts of the network coped with the dip will vary depending on many factors in the infrastructure.

It would be a bizarre coincidence for it to happen at the exact same time the entire grid experienced problems and be unrelated.
