WOOHOO The lights are still the same as last night. It would be great if they would stay like that but we will see.

Wierd... Carl can you send me an email/pm with the street you are on? If you don't mind I'd like to email my colleagues in the ESB and see if they know anything. And if they don't suggest that they adopt it!

Cheers,

And it's definitely the whole street Carl? Most lights spanning many streets at a time are on the one circuit. Notice any more in the area down 40%? I don't think it's a complaint. It could simply be a fault somewhere like water getting into a junction box after the weather we had at the weekend! Don't mean to jinx it! :)

Hi Seanie,

I checked all of the streetlights last night and all 58 lights are the same. True something went wrong some were for this to happen. And could come back at any time or they may never :D . I’m hoping Albert will have some answers later.
