Narrative:
Airport authority turned off the lighting in the area for cost cutting measure due to covid-19 but with our operation needing to use the oversized TC1 for oversized and odd size such as golf bag and such according to established baggage handling equipment and direction from same equipment vendor. Also the oversized baggage belt is used to transport baggage tubs and other inbound transit baggage back to counter to be reintroduce to other baggage belts for induction into the system for tsa inspections and then forwarded to the designated outbound flight pier. I have verbally reported the issue to our local safety committee chairman and he acknowledged that he informed others.
