Sometimes, after a late night shift, I notice the streetlights burning maybe an hour or so after dawn. Since my home is close to main switch of one section of Sonarbhat, it's easy to walk 200 metres and switch it off.
I wonder how much power must be getting wasted due to the late switching off and early powering on of the street lights. Who foots the bill? Is it the panchayat? Also, if you're close to one mains, it might be worth switching power off when you see it being wasted despite the sun having risen... just a thought.
