dimming light
Brightness slowly decreasing
A dimming light is one that's growing fainter or less bright.
The phrase often appears in figurative contexts—a dimming light of hope, or someone described as a dimming light whose influence or vitality is fading.
Literally, it describes any light source losing intensity: the dimming light of dusk, a dimming light bulb.
