Streetlight sensors
I've heard that streetlights can be affected by laser pointers. Can anyone tell me how that works. I just want to avoid accidently turning off nearby lights with my 10mw laser finder. If you think it's necessary, PM or email would be fine lest this information fall into the wrong hands.
