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.

Hi, it is not a 'safety' issue , you have said in your email to me that it should have little impact on safety. It is a light pollution/nuisance/health issue. I will keep an eye on them and see if they adjust or if they stay on all night or come on far too early again.
