A perhaps odd observation about outdoor lighting.
For years I have used those cheap solar recharged driveway lights. They were more than adequate to help me avoid the rain ditch while trying to find my driveway at night, something i rarely do these days. But one odd change I have noticed is that while both used to run down and go dark later at night, depending on how sunny of a day it was, but now one driveway light never goes dark

Not magic, but my suspicion is that it is recycling light energy from the post office across the street which must have upgraded the parking lot lights and leaving them on overnight.
It has been a while since I dug around inside, but apparently the battery can both charge and power the light at the same time. In the daytime the light is not on, it definitely turns on at dusk, so an interesting combination of thresholds.

It's nice to be nice.
