Great idea but why stop there, street lights are too high off the ground, too powerful (250-400 watts for a typical street light) and on for too long. I'd like to see them off after 11PM or at least make them motion sensing after that hour (requiring something other than Mercury or sodium vapour lights) I can't remember where I read it but in some parts of Europe they simply turn off the streetlights after a certain time.
