Dimmed streetlights and extinguished monument lighting in a Belgian town square at night.

The municipality of Houthalen-Helchteren is participating in the Night of Darkness by dimming public lighting and extinguishing monuments between 7 PM and 11 PM.

Our municipality is also participating in the Night of Darkness. Agreements have been made with Fluvius to dim public lighting in certain areas and extinguish the lighting of selected monuments that evening. Safety will remain sufficiently guaranteed.
From 7 PM to 11 PM, the interactive LED lighting will be set to 50 percent. Additionally, the monument lighting of selected monuments will be completely extinguished.
You too can contribute to a dark night. On Saturday evening, turn off your outdoor and terrace lighting when not needed. Make the indoors extra cozy with a candlelight dinner and leave unnecessary lighting off as much as possible.
