global flashing lights phenomena intensifies ..

Many times, you may have been walking down the street and then noticed streetlights begin to experience interference or even go out altogether. In all these cases, you always thought it was a normal occurrence or that the electrical current, or even the light bulb itself, was not working properly. This situation, in principle, is nothing unusual. However, it may be surprising that this event occurs more frequently, and even stranger is that it always happens to the same people.

Cases of this type lack a rational explanation and have been dubbed the SLI (Street Light Interference) Effect, which, literally translated from English, means "interference of street lights." This name was coined by Hilary Evans, an author of paranormal studies, to denote the supposed ability of certain people to turn on or off security lights on streets or buildings just as they pass by them. Those who cause them are called sliders (the English term for people who turn off their lights), while in several Spanish-speaking countries they are called streetlight switchers.

What is it about?

The SLI effect consists of the ability, usually involuntary, of certain people to interfere with the normal operation of street lighting. These events can result in lights turning off, on, or changing intensity when those causing the phenomenon approach them.

The effects can occur with a single streetlight or, as has been proven, with several lights at once. Less common is the occurrence of an entire row of streetlights gradually turning off as someone passes by, only to turn on as the individual moves away.

From time to time I cause that effect in the lights and I find it funny.

Perhaps many more people have a personal field that can produce these effects without knowing it.
There was a time when I resided in a large city, Toronto, and I would walk the streets at night after most had gone to bed, midnight to three a.m.'ish, and every street light that I passed close to would go out and then come back on after I passed on. Also radios that were on in houses would go silent as well. I don't remember if lights in the houses would go off as well? I am not in a city any more and don't have a cause to go walking under those conditions. Mostly under the covers and asleep by 9:30 p.m. any more.
 
Conventional light bulbs are more more immune to voltage drops - those things would just dim a little bit.
How to recreate such conventional light bulb dim at home?
Take any device that requires a lot of energy such as electric kettle. At moment it starts.stops heating light bulb in same room should dim/brighten a little bit (sometimes it will take only few hz until it goes back). Use sunglasses or something to stare at light bulb the moment kettle turns on or off.
I gave this prompt to Perplexity AI:

Tell me something about LED Street Lights internal circuit and theory of operation - here is an excerpt:
LED street lights utilize advanced semiconductor technology and specialized circuitry to deliver efficient, durable illumination. Their operation hinges on electroluminescence and precise current regulation, supported by robust thermal management systems.
Hmmm... 'robust thermal management systems' may be subject to intense electromagnetic frequencies. Is there an intense low-frequency signal... caused by all the sun and planet activity, THE wave, our twin sun, Klaus Swab - who knows? You see the old-style street lights blinking on and off because they have/had daylight sensors, and, in other instances, because they had mechanical thermal overload activation for high current/heat situations, and then their shutting off after it cools, repeating.

Probably a lot of big, old-style high current components too. Central to the LED street lights are still high-current light-emitting semiconductor materials, but they require considerably less current than the old-style, AND the AC voltage is converted to DC for use with the semiconductors.

The new-fangled LED street lights with their more sophisticated control circuitry could be subject to 'something new', or even some tinkering from some central location, since these lights are evidently networked. The more bells and whistles you have, the more can go wrong.

More from Perplexity after asking about the operational theory and circuit design of the street lights:
At the heart of LED street lights is electroluminescence, where electric current passing through a semiconductor material (e.g., gallium arsenide) causes electrons to recombine with holes, emitting photons37. This process generates minimal heat compared to traditional lighting, enhancing energy efficiency. The semiconductor's composition determines the light’s color and intensity3.

Internal Components and Circuitry​

1. LED Array and Optics

  • LED Chips: High-power LEDs are mounted on an aluminum-based circuit board for optimal heat dissipation12.
  • Optical Lenses: Asymmetrical lenses focus light onto roadways, minimizing spillage and enabling wider pole spacing13.
2. Driver Circuit

  • AC-to-DC Conversion: Converts mains electricity (120V/240V AC) to low-voltage DC, often using switching power supplies147.
  • Constant Current Regulation: Critical for LED longevity, drivers maintain steady current (typically 0.1–1A) despite voltage fluctuations67.
  • Protection Mechanisms: Varistors and LC networks guard against power surges and electromagnetic interference6.
3. Thermal Management

  • Heat Sinks: Aluminum housings or dedicated coolers dissipate heat from the LED array12.
  • Thermal Interface Materials: Conductive paste ensures efficient heat transfer from the circuit board to the fixture16.

Circuit Design Considerations​

Parallel Wiring: Ensures uniform voltage across LEDs, preventing cascading failures4.
  • Smart Controls: Some models integrate light/motion sensors or NEMA sockets for automated dimming and remote monitoring15.
By combining efficient semiconductor physics with robust electrical and thermal design, LED street lights achieve superior performance, often lasting 50,000–100,000 hours while consuming 40–60% less energy than traditional systems36.
 
Yesterday when I came home from work at night, the light that illuminates the access ramp to my building's garage was flickering just like in your videos.

Well, I smile since I remembered your thread.
 


if true make sense......
