Street Light

cities · electricity · safety

Bright night helpers. Street lights are tall poles with lamps on top that line roads and paths to help people see where they're going after dark.

Powered by electricity. When cities got electric power in the 1900s, street lights became common in towns and cities around the world.

More than just roads. You can find street lights on roads, sidewalks, and even on railway platforms to keep everyone safe and visible.

Changing how cities work. Street lights made it possible for people to work, travel, and have fun after sunset, completely changing how cities operate at night.
