Der Lichterglanz refers to “bright lights," or a "blaze of lights.” This word is especially handy as a way to describe the beautiful illumination found during Advent--at Christmas markets, in churches, and decorated houses and apartment balconies. Another useful Christmas words related to this one is Die Lichterkette, or “string lights,” which are commonly used holiday decorations. Die Beleuchtung refers to “the lighting” and Die Außenbeleuchtung refers to “the outdoor lighting.”READ ALSO: Turn on the bright lights: Christmas houses shine throughout GermanyDer Lichterglanz at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
