We're getting some new street lights and have noticed they have little
antennas on the top.

What is it for? They look like they have a light detetctor same as the
old ones too.


They've recently replaced all the lights here in Epsom similarly.
The're radio controlled, and report back provided they haven't failed.
They're also dimmed at night to save money. I think there are a few
master lights which do the two-way communication, and they each
control several slave lights.



Someone asked the workmen and they reckon these lights aren't
dimmable.
