Why do streetlights sometimes turn off as I walk under them?

I often walk or bike at night, and it always happens to me that the street light turns off as soon as I pass by it. What is the reason?

  • Circuit failure

Unstable power supply, poor wire contact, or a damaged controller may cause the street light to go out.
