What are the operational hours of a street light?
There are no specified hours for street lighting. The standard method of controlling the operational hours is by photo-electric cell, which switches the lamp on automatically at dusk and off at dawn. Burning hours equate to some 4,100 hours per year. In the 24 hour society in which we now live, is it considered essential to operate street lights throughout the night. This enhances security for people and property, reduces night time traffic accidents and assists emergency services.
