Lamp post timer.

Jeefus crucking frist. Most of them have darkness detectors now. They stick out of the top.

If they needed timers they'd use the same service your phone does - the chips cost pennies. No it wouldn't be a great idea to use timers anyway - use your noddle.

They have a timer, as they all go off at midnight! Darkness sensor will not help!

Council-maintained street lighting has traditionally been controlled by a photocell on top of each luminaire.

I have installed and maintained quite a few private street lighting installations in my time. Some had photocells on each fitting, others a local cabinet containing switchgear and timer(s).

Sometimes there was one photocell controlling all the fittings, mounted on the cabinet or a lamp standard if there was one next to the cabinet. This wasn't a common set-up because it meant that if that photocell went faulty, it would affect all the lights, whereas if there was one on each fitting, a failed sensor would only mean one luminaire down.
