I have noticed quite a number of times that when I pass street lamps
they go out, and I wondered if I might have some sort of special field
or something associated with me that affected (not "effected") the
lamps. Then the other day I was walking across a parking lot, passed by
a street light, and it went off. So I stood there for a while, and
watched the lamp, and also the many other lamps in the parking lot.
After a little bit, the lamp I "caused" to go off came back on. And all
the while, other lamps in the parking lot were going off and coming back
on. So maybe I have a quite extensive and fluctuating field that causes
this? Or more likely, I wonder if the lights themselves spontaneously
go off and come back on -- by design, perhaps to conserve energy or
prolong the life of the bulb, or maybe due to some design flaw -- as
part of their normal operation?
