A characteristic of HID lights is that they begin to cycle on and off as they approach the end of life. Time to replace those Slider lamps.

Meaning, that streetlight is slowly turning on and off constantly, but you only notice this when you're walking underneath, and then wrongly ascribe the cause as being your proximity. Human presence causes the bulb to be noticed, because without nearby human presence, the bulb isn't noticed. I had never heard of the term sliders, but based on the description given ere I used to believe I had slider characteristics. I noticed that certain treet lamps I passed, especially when I was driving in my car or walking ast them at night would suddenly blink out. After several repeated ncounters it seemed very obvious to me that my presence must have been esponsible. However, what dissuaded me from a personal belief that I was he cause of the anomaly was the fact that I got curious and began to bserve the same lamps more closely. After a more careful extended period of bservations I noticed that the same street lamps which I thought my resence was somehow influencing were regularly turning off all on their own egardless of whether I was nearby or not. There was obviously something rong with the streetlamp. I suspect they were overheating and something ike an internal circuit breaker had been tripped. After they cooled down hey would turn back on again. The curious anomaly had nothing to do with e. Grant me serenity over the street lamps I am unable to influence. The ourage to influence the street lamps that I can, and the wisdom to know the ifference. Regards, teven Vincent Johnson ww.OrionWorks.com ww.zazzle.com/orionworks
