🧠 Problem Title: Unnecessary Electricity Waste Due to Street Lights Remaining ON During Daytime
📝 Problem Description

In many urban areas, street lights are often seen operating even during daytime when natural sunlight is sufficient. This usually happens due to faulty timers, lack of proper monitoring, or delays in manual switching systems. As a result, electricity continues to be consumed unnecessarily for several hours every day., This issue may appear small at an individual level, but when thousands of street lights remain ON across a city, the total energy wastage becomes significant. This leads to increased electricity consumption, higher operational costs for local authorities, and unnecessary pressure on energy resources., I have personally observed street lights remaining ON during bright daylight hours in my area, even when they are not needed. Despite being clearly visible, this issue often goes unnoticed or unreported., This problem also indirectly contributes to environmental concerns, as excess electricity production may lead to increased use of non-renewable energy sources. Addressing such avoidable wastage can help in better resource management and energy conservation.
