I think they found out that the lamps would ice up and provide worse lighting when turning them off. This was also a problem when switching from the old Halogen/Sodium lights to LED’s so bad infact that some streetlamps needed heaters in them. The heating system is only used where we get the harshest winter weather. Also with the historical low energy prices, installing all the sensors would not make sense economically. Cool concept though. Now adays some municipalities turn them out right off, for a few hours when traffic is low to save money on energy.

We drove a section of road that had this on a recent holiday! I thought it was so cool and added it to the ever growing list of good ideas every other nation should copy but won’t!

The company behind this technology has a list of reference projects on their webpage: [https://comlight.no/prosjekter-og-referanser](https://comlight.no/prosjekter-og-referanser)
I believe it is still in use in the few places where it has been installed, but it has not reached widespread adoption.

This is installed on a road right next to a couple I’m friends with, it works well enough, but a bit annoying to live right next to.
