that would be interesting. not very safe though. instead the lamp might catch alight, the whole thing would be like a giant fire torchericgibbs said:Would you believe when I was a young man, a guy used to come along the streets lighting the 'gas lamps' one at time and again OFF in the morning!!!

RODALCO said:The on / off cycling is most likely a high pressure sodium lamp on its last legs. It takes usually a few minutes for the lamp to attain full brightness. The internal pressure in the lamp builds up. lamps goes out, needs to cool down before it can restrike and the cycle repeats it self over and over again.
SON lamps usually go for about 15,000 hours which is about 3½ years taking into account ±4350 hours night time.
I find the opposite with ours.ThermalRunaway said:There is a streetlamp right outside my bedroom window and it is so annoying.

Those lamps just stop working, and don't explode.
Contact your local council and they will replace the lamp.
Give them the address or pole asset number.
Also if a lamp is too bright near a house, an additional shroud can be added to minimise light reaching an affected bedroom.
I think you'd appreciate the 50V/15A switch mode PSUs we do at work, they have a tendancy to explode on test... and boy do they go with a bang. Normally they blow the covers off a quad of high power FETs and vaporise some components. Sometimes it even catches fire!things said:awww no explosion
