Put them at the ends of streets (or one on each lamppost, if you can afford it) and have it turn on the lights for the street/block.

- heroin 17y agoThat would just be more expensive and less reliable. buttons would do the trick, except for the case you want to have lights on in the moment you are leaving your house.

- sethg 17y agoInstalling the buttons incurs a capital cost, and then there's the cost of maintenance, and the risk that vandals will pound on the buttons just for the hell of it. By contrast, the Dial4Light system builds on infrastructure for both control and authentication that already exists.
