I didn't get it at first, but do now. CJ mentioned solar for streetlamps, sounds like such a great idea. They have some that are triggered by motion, but ironically most of them turn on as you are leaving the scene and don't need light anymore :-)

I was thinking the point was that it's 'ON' while it's still light outside.

Ironic indeed! Many streetlights are now going to solar so they will finally save a bit of power. CJ

Nicely done Tommy & I agree that this picy does somehow say how we waste power & a good decision to make it a colour picy which reinforces the concept. Goodun mate.

Thanks for the clear justification of irony. To me it's just a bunch of wires seeming to feed one silly light. -tv

This works well for me Tommy. The irony is that the light probably doesn't get it's electricity from the source but has it sent far away, converted to a lower voltage, then sent back again. -COAmature
