Or why not send the little blighters out into the streets to count how many lamp posts they can see blazing away all day long through the daylight hours? I counted 25 yesterday, and this was just ones I noticed as I cycled past. I'll spare you the ones I've featured before on this blog, with the exception of the A12. All photos taken yesterday - day one of the Copenhagen conference. With the exception of the A12 cluster these were all isolated lighting columns blazing away while the others in the street were switched off.
