you would get bombed
you would certainly be fined, in some countries arrested and on several very rare occasions executed.

The "blackout" means turning off all outdoor lights, and covering all windows to keep inside lights (if left on) from being seen outside. The purpose was to make it harder for enemy aircraft and ships to see cities (and ships at sea) at night or during bad weather. Otherwise, the enemy could use the lights to help it attack or use them as a navigational aid.
There is no evidence to suggest that Dublin intentionally helped the Germans bomb Liverpool by not implementing a blackout. The decision to implement blackout measures during World War II was primarily made by individual cities or countries based on their own strategic considerations. Dublin may have had its own reasons for not implementing a blackout, but it is not an indication of intentional cooperation with the Germans.
In order to minimize damage from German hightime bombing in England during World War II, the country enacted blackout precautions. Householders were required to cover all windows and doors w/ lightproof curtains, to remove all outdoor lighting. Street lights were turned off. Automobiles were required to have hooded headlights or use "parking" lights. Blackout regulations were enforced by neighborhood wardens and police. People who failed to take blackout precautions could be fined or jailed.
ok the blackout was when everyone put all the lights out and everything to stop the Germans seeing them
You needed a ''Blackout'' because, if everyone had their lights on during a bombing raid then it would be easy for the bombers to spot you!
During World War 2, "Blackouts" were enforced in some European countries, most famously the United Kingdom. A blackout is basically a curfew to have all lights in the country turned off. This was a temporary law until the end of World War 2. Having a light on or even lighting a fire outside would result in police officers turning up at your door to extinguish the light and warn or arrest you. The blackout was designed to confuse German bombers at night. Without lights on the ground, the bombers couldn't map their location and often got lost, sometimes running out of fuel and crashing in the ocean. The blackout saved many British cities millions worth of damage and saved thousands of lives.

Blackout Curtains were a feature of The Blackout - the tactics of blocking out all lights at night during the Second World War, so that enemy bomber planes could not identify targets. Blackout Curtains were made of heavy black serge or blanket material, and the idea was to completely remove any flashes or 'chinks' of light from inside the house. Street lights and traffic lights (and lights on cars and buses) were also strictly forbidden during The Blackout. This resulted in a number of road accidents and injuries. On the whole the measures were effective. German bomber pilots reported difficulty identifying specific areas of cities such as Manchester and Liverpool because of The Blackout, and in the case of Hull, the East Park boating lake was bombed as the Germans believed it to be part of Hull Docks.

No. The blackout was supposed to occur from November 13-14, 2013.

Blackout methods were using a special thick black fabric that did not leak light. They were put in windows in all building windows including in homes in both the US, The United Kingdom and Europe. Some windows were permanently blacked out during the war. Other windows had rods and they could open the blackout drapes during the daytime. Lights in cities were turned off. Some cities had to put in lights that lit downward to prevent accidents. Curbs had to be painted to prevent auto accidents and anyone who walked at night had to wear white or reflective items. Even animals were given special lights and reflective wear so they could be seen during the post bombing searches for the living and dead. Homes had to use low light and some used candles to lower the amount of light or set fires in fireplaces. Flash lights were used too.
