BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Antwerp will dim the bright new
lights along the Belgian port city's waterfront after
prostitutes complained they were putting off potential
clients.

"We had some remarks from the prostitutes that there
was too much light, both for them and the clients,"
city council spokesman Jorn Verbeeck said. "We are
investigating the possibility of lowering the light
there."

Prostitutes complained to city and police officials
that the lights installed in December did not give
them enough privacy and hurt business, he said.

The port, which tolerates prostitutes in a select few
streets near the waterfront, will next week test an
electric system to dim the lights, Verbeeck said.

If the test gets the thumbs-up from the city's sex
workers, the system will be rolled out across the red
light district.
