Why i turn on and off some street lights just by walking neae?

Answer 1

Perhaps it's your electric personality, but more likely the lights in question are switched with motion sensors that turn them on only when there is something nearby that needs illuminating and/or illumination.

Answer 2

It could be because the lights are motion or proximity sensitive. That is, they turn on because something moves near them or is close to them at all. But it could also be your perception, especially if you've noticed street lights turning off when you're near. The lights themselves are defective, so they flicker on and off from time to time. It's not all of the lights on a particular street, right? Just one or two somewhere along the way? Those few lights aren't functioning properly, and have some kind of malfunction where they turn on and off when they're not supposed to. When one of the lights switches on or off as you pass by, you notice, and you think it had something to do with your approach. But if you walk past the same light every day, and make a note of whether or not it changed as you walked by, you would probably find that one some days, it turned on when you came near, on other days it turned off when you approached, and on yet other days it was just either on or off and didn't change.

Answer 3

I would like to know the answer to that one because it happens to me too. They wouldn't be motion censored lights because I have regular house lamps go out and street lights go out (when I'm walking down a street without any cars driving by, so it's not car lights, and I don't glow either, so I know it doesn't think it's day light out. It also just recently started happening to my bf of five years. Some times light bulbs burn out when I walk by too, not just turn off, they burn out and I have to throw them out. I don't think the lights would randomly go off and on just to save energy either. Also, it doesn't happen to the same light everytime I pass them. One time I remember walking down a street at night and one street light went out right after the other. 3 or 4 lights went out right in a row.

Answer 4

motion detectors activate/deactivate the relay that turn on the lights

Answer 5

maybe when ever u walk near them it just happens to be the time they r scedualed to com on and off, or maybe its just a cuinsodence(i kno i spelt that wrong)

Answer 6

They are on sensors to save electricity.

Answer 7

They're probably motion detectors.
