The continued growth of the cities is causing an
increase of the amount of surface to illuminate. However, this rise
into lighting brings some unintended consequences such as increased
of energy consumption or the light pollution. To make these effects
less intrusive as possible some councils have chosen to perform a
part-night lighting in some areas. Nonetheless, this kind of shutdown
may cause serious problems which we intend to highlight in this
paper.
