Some Street Lights Are Staying "On" During the Day

The LED street lights within the City are controlled by a wireless network so that the lights can communicate with each other and to central controllers.  The lights are programmed to turn "on" and "off" based on sunset and sunrise times.  For safety reasons, the LED lights are programmed to turn themselves "on" and remain "on" when they lose communication to the central controllers. This ensures that roads remain lit at night.
 
The City has identified some groups of LED street lights that are staying "on" 24/7 as a result of losing communication to the central controller.  The City is investigating the cause of these interruptions in order to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.
