Why do streetlights turn off when I pass them?
|
Recently I have noticed that when I pass streetlights they turn off or flicker. Its weird. I told my Dad and he thinks I'm crazy. It happens at work too. In the office. When I go near it the light flickers more than usual. I don't think im crazy. The streetlight thing happens a lot in the morning on my way to classes and at night when I'm getting off of work. Does this happen to anyone else??? lol

It's your aura. You are a child of the Universe (Cosmic Butterfly). You simply ooze cosmic energy and it screws up the sensors in the street lamps.
Another reason could be that the daylight sensors on some street lamps are out of alignment and when your headlights hit the sensors they turn off the lights. The sensors have a built in delay and the light does not turn off until you pass it.
You decide which is the right answer for you! |

When the fluorescent bulb in a streetlight gets old, it overheats and trips a safety switch.
When it cools off, it turns itself back on again. Some streetlights turn on and off by themselves every few minutes.
Also, some towns install timers which cause all streetlights to turn off randomly every few minutes.
This saves energy, but since the timers are not synchronized, some lights stay on while others are off.
Beware, it's easy to fool yourself into thinking that you have a mysterious effect on streetlights.
If you see a streetlight turn on or off, that's not unusual. It happens all the time.
It's only unusual if whole chains of street lights turn off in sequence as you pass, or if you see the streetlights only turn off but never see an equal number turn back on. |
