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.
