Round our way we have got lights with a magic eye on the top that can see
when it is getting dark and it switches the lamp on - then in the morning
it sees that the sky is getting light and turns it off. I don't think the
idea has much of a future though - it is too simple.

except that it fails "on" on very cloudy days
