I have had this happen to me numerous times. It is always with the same lights and is consistently repeatable. It has happened mostly with street lights that I drive past. There was one walking path light at a college I used to attend that would consistently turn off every time I approached it. Another was a light in an apartment complex parking lot that would turn off when I walked near it. If this was simply bad connections combined with vibrations then it would not be consistent nor would it happen when just walking past the light. I have at times been tempted to take the sensor off of one of these lights to do some experiments with it, but the need to know how this phenomena occurs does not outweigh my desire to avoid being arrested for stealing it. If there is a controlled study of this phenomena underway, I would like to participate in it as I seem to be able to consistently trigger some sensors. This could possibly lead to the discovery of a new type of detector for a hitherto unknown neural energy. My dad, when he was working as an engineer for Motorola in the 60’s, worked on trying to find the cause manufacturing defects in diodes. The defect was an inconsistent capacitance in the diode that would cause RF circuits to malfunction. He discovered the problem and that discovery led to the invention the varactor diode. Point being, you never know where the search for answers will lead you.
