We are sorry but we are not taking immediate action with this report because as daylight hours decrease and the clocks change, variations in lamp operation can occasionally occur. Since the lamp is currently functioning, we are not taking any immediate action. However, we will continue to monitor the situation and intervene if necessary. Thank you for reporting this matter.

We’re sending you this message to let you know that 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 can typically take up to a couple weeks for the switching times to settle down, however; this is unavoidable but should have little or no impact on safety. Thank you for reporting this matter.
