turning off lights
Making rooms dark
Turning off lights is the act of switching lights from on to off, whether by flipping a switch, pressing a button, or voice command.
The phrase appears in discussions of energy conservation, bedtime routines, and leaving a space: Don't forget to turn off the lights when you leave.
Figuratively, turning off the lights can mean ending something—closing a business, shutting down an operation, or marking a final departure.
