dimming lights
Illumination growing weaker
Dimming lights refers to the practice of reducing light intensity, either for ambiance or as a signal.
In theaters and concert venues, dimming lights tells the audience the performance is about to begin: The lights dimmed and the crowd quieted.
At home, dimming lights creates mood or saves energy.
The phrase can also describe lights that flicker or fade due to power issues: The dimming lights during the storm made us nervous.
