I certainly appreciate any research that you can do on your end regarding my question...this particular phenomenon has been occurring to me for the past 48 years now. Whenever I approach certain street lights, "they" just decide to blink "on and off" on their own! Throughout the course of the past 15 years, however, I have met at least 10 other people throughtout the United States who have this very same experience! None of us exactly no "why" this happens "ONLY TO US"!!! Thank for whatever information you can share regarding this matter! <><><> As "blinks" may mean "flickers on and off all the time", what follows here may or may not answer this question as asked. However it may offer one possible explanation if the light just comes on for a short time when a person has entered the area lit by the street light, and then goes off a short time after the person has left the area. Some towns are fitting sensors to each street light in certain roads and car parks so that the lights only come on when the sensors detect someone approaching the area lit by each light or group of lights. The light or lights turn off automatically after the person has left the area covered by a sensor. A local car park here in my town has this system for powerful floodlights, along with security cameras. It is very good because electricity is not being wasted throughout the night and the floodlights only come on when and where necessary. This system is also a big deterrent to thieves who, when no one else was around, used to sneak in between the cars at night to break into them undetected. Now, when they come into the car park the lights follow them around - and so do the security cameras which are monitored 24/7 at our local police station! <><><> Or maybe the lights are just faulty or the globes/starters are on their way out. They don't last forever.

Lights may blink in a house due to a loose or faulty electrical connection, a power surge, or a problem with the light switch or fixture. It is important to investigate the issue promptly to identify and address the root cause to prevent any potential safety hazards.

There must be an interruption to the power supply. It is usually caused by the power company.
