Default Lights went dim and car died

So i was driving to work the other day when my car died. The lights starting going dim and car started slowing down and then died. I started it up again straight away and it was running but everything was dim. I tried to drive it home but it shut off again after 30 seconds and then wouldn't start up. Kept making a clicking noise when trying to start.
After waiting 30mins it started up fine and I drove it for another 10mins home.
Since then I have been driving it around my area to see if it would happen again but so far its been running fine.
Could this be the alternator? or the battery?
The battery light is on, on my dash, but because i replaced my cluster lights with LEDs the day before I wasn't sure if I messed up the cluster or if there was a battery issue.
Anyone know what this could be?
Thanks
