Default Light Pollution

Can anyone please give me some information, on turnung street lights off.
How do the streets lights without photocells turn on and off? Thanks for you
help.


Geez, what a bunch of smart-ass answers. Sheesh.

I remember a long time ago that street lights would shut off sometimes
when a car drove by and the headlights hit it just right. However, I
don't see that anymore. They may have timer/calendar chips on them so
they are not sensitive to light coming in. In that case, you are out of
luck.

If you can find a opening in the street light, you may be able to shine
a bright light into it to get it to shut off.

Let us know if it works.
