I'm wondering about noisy street lights - specifically the pattern where noise is present for a couple of minutes, then goes away for a similar period of time. It has been said the noise is due to the light trying to restart after going out. Is it a reasonably safe bet that any street light making this on/off RFI will be visibly going out and restarting?

I'm wondering if I really need to drag all the RFI tools out with me on a street light hunt. If the light is visibly going off/on I should be able to find it visibly and confirm it's the one by listening to audio from my home receiver via some wireless link, correlating to cycles of the light. No? Just wondering here.

73, Paul
