A parking area may have lit/unlit parts, and most of these areas are too
large to simply tag the whole area as lit/unlit.  Ive had a look through
wiki and there doesnt seem to be anything documented, and a few searches
have only turned up a few dozen or so various uses such as street_lamp
or lamp as various values/keys or the like.

With aerial imagery, its quite possible to accurately tag the exact
location of the light itself, and even a lot of street lamps have unique
ref codes which could be tagged also.  Id be quite happy to start
tagging street lamps if there was an agreed upon tag.

One thought, is that often street lights can share the same pole as
power lines, so maybe utilising the existing pole/pylon/tower tags could
be used in some way?
