Battery light on higher RPM's 200

The battery light comes on when the engine gets near 3,000 RPM's and stays on until I back off acceleration. I have tightened the alternator belt twice and sprayed belt dressing on it, so I am pretty sure it is not the belt slipping. Is my alternator dying, do I need a new regulator, or something else? I am pretty sure it is not the idiot light, because the headlights slightly dim at night when this is happening.

1983 240, wiring harness replaced less than a year ago (by a very competent Volvo mechanic)
