• We are sorry but we are not taking immediate action with this report because the UK adjusts clocks between British Summertime and Greenwich Mean Time in the Spring and Autumn. The lights have individual sensors that monitor the number of daylight hours which adjust for the change to British Summertime or Greenwich Mean Time. That means the sensors on the part-night lights enter a period of adjustment during Spring and Autumn, where the lights may start to turn off, or dim, slightly earlier or later than the standard time of Midnight to 06:00. Unfortunately, this is unavoidable but should have little or no impact on safety Thank you for reporting this matter.

  State changed to: No further action

• I agree there is no safety impact, but it is a waste of money and will lead to a premature failure of the lamp.

  If your excuse is valid, why have you adjusted all the other lamps that have been reported to be illuminated in the day?

• 2830447 this report of a lamp on in the day has been marked as fixed, as well as another lamp illuminated in the day that has been marked as fixed, so why are you using the UK clock changes to deny fixing this specific lamp?
