Street light blackout

On 6–7 November, Langeland will be celebrating its dark night sky.

To make the sky even darker, Ø-strøm and Langelands Forsyning will switch off the street lighting for 10 minutes on five occasions during the evening of Friday 6 November in Rudkøbing and on Saturday 7 November across the whole island.

The street lights will be switched off at 17:17, 18:18, 19:19, 20:20 and 21:21.

We recommend that, at least at one of these times, you find yourself in a spot from which you have a fantastic view of the island.

PLEASE NOTE! Street lighting at the island’s harbours will not be switched off.

The event is part of the ‘Light in the Dark’ cultural weekend, which will take place on Langeland and Strynø on Friday 6 November and Saturday 7 November 2026. See the full programme at langeland.dk/lys
