Street Light Interference Phenomenon a term coined by British Author and pictorial archivist, and researcher into the paranormal: Hilary Evans - Born March 6, 1929 and Died July 27, 2011. SLI is possibly a psychic event that is just beginning to be recognized and studied. Evidence is almost anecdotal. A person who has an effect on street lights is also known as a slider finds that the light switches on or off as he or she passed underneath it. You would naturally think it is caused by a faulty street light or bulb issue. SLIders claim it happens on a regular basis regardless. SLIders often have effects on other electronic devices such as wrist watches, televisions, cd players, radios, and debit/credit cards. Batteries suddenly being drained from devices not limited to but such as cellular devices, cameras and GPS's. Dr. Richard Wiseman at the University of Hertfordshire in England created a one of a kind kiosk type machine called the " Mind Machine " that he set up all over England collecting data. He was collecting data from the general public as they passed by doing their day to day activities. Trying to capture the possible psychic abilities of the general public. Hilary Evans considered one of the foremost people on this subject Street Light Interference and created the Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena (ASSAP). After Receiving numerous reports from people claiming that streetlamps respond to their presence in an inexplicable fashion, Evans decided to take on the challenge, collecting hundreds of accounts of SLI through his Street Lamp Interference Data Exchange (SLIDE). The culmination of this research – what turned out to be his final book – it is brief but highly informative! SLIDERS: The Enigma of Street Light Interference (2010) Hilary's approach was neither that of the passionate conspiracist nor of the ruthless debunker. Rather, he adopted an open-minded, educated tone: “SLI has a basis in physical reality which is amenable to investigation: SLIs are physical objects and the SLI effect, if it exists, must be ultimately a physical process. By its nature, SLI lends itself to methodical observation and controlled testing.”
Hilary usually concluded that the key to explaining mysterious events lay with the person undergoing those events, rather than with some outside force. Author Massimo Polidoro wrote in Skeptical Inquirer he has considered claims of SLI examples of correlation not implying causation, or of confirmation rias: people are much more likely to notice when a nearby street light turns on or off than they are to notice a light turning on or off from a distance or a street light in a steady state at any distance. This is compounded by a failure mode of street lights known as "cycling" in which the street lights of the high pressure sodium type turn off and on more frequently at the end of their life cycle, High pressure sodium engineer at General Electric quoted by Cecil Adams, summarizes SLI as " A combination of coincidence and wishful thinking ". HPS High Pressure Sodium - Contain Mercury widely used in outdoor lighting solutions and also used widely as grow lights. Understanding the change in human color vision sensitivity from photopic to mesopic and scotopic is essential for proper planning when designing lighting for roadways. About 100 lumens per watt when measured for photopic lighting conditions. The loss of sodium in the arc causes the "cycling" sodium is highly reactive element and is lost in a reaction with the aluminum oxide of the arc tube. These lamps can be started at a relatively low voltage but as they heat up during operation, and more and more voltage is required to maintain the arc discharge. As the lamp gets older the maintaining voltage for the arc eventually rises to exceed the maximum voltage output by the electrical ballast. As the lamp heats to this point the arc fails and the lamp goes out. Lamp cools down, gas pressure in the arc tube reduces and the ballast can once again cause the arc to strike. Energy Fields - Energy emitted by the human body? SLIder's claim that lights turn out when they are tired, stressed, furious, and or sad. Some often believe is some sort of static electricity produced by their body. However the energy from we know that produced by the body is known to science is via food and breathing, and is used by the body. Warmth is the only other thing, static electricity is not produced by human beings, but by rubbing things together. Wearing Synthetic clothes in a dry climate is one cause, it has nothing to do with a state of mind. Personally, I have had many experiences with this phenomenon and it started at a young age, at one point I was keeping track of them. I can remember being in the car with my mother on trips across the country and being deep in thought listening to my discman. I remember we took a trip to Nashville, Tennessee it must of been 1995 because the Real McCoy album Just Another Night had just come out and I felt the need to listen to it on repeat. While in the back seat staring out the window I would notice the highway lights going out one by one as we passed, in succession. Years later I can recall driving to and from work at Fort Myers Southwest International Airport the lights going out as I would pass in my car late night driving home sometimes 2-3am in the morning. In late 2015 while living in Fort Myers, Fl, Amanda Maltz as my witness saw a string of Christmas lights illuminate on their own without being plugged in while her and I consequently were arguing over non sense. Lights always seem to turn out when I come near it's just a thing I have noticed. It's not all the time, it's nothing I can control. I can recall some sort of light interference in many places I have traveled to from New York City, Chicago, Florida, California, Las Vegas, Nevada to name a few. I would agree I think it has do with the energy of the mind per say something about being deep in thought. I have a mechanical background as well and I think it's too easy to just say hey it's all just a coincidence happening everywhere for all of these SLIder individuals. That it's " just the cycling of the lights ", A friend of mine who is a scholar in his field and brilliant in many respects, has many claims himself about Street Light Interference Phenomenon and how he has noticed it in his lifetime. This would surprise many people who believe this is just pseudo science. Since a young age my friend Travis Doll has had experiences with batteries draining on him, he cannot wear a wrist watch for this reason. Every watch he owns would become drained and need to have battery replaced, sort of a big inconvenience once you replace that battery twice in a month lol yea that would get old fast. One of my only friends that also see's the street lights turning out as he passes underneath whether its walking, riding a bicycle, driving by in a car, lights turn off as he goes by. He has seen this occurrence in Fort Myers, Florida, Key West, Florida, St. Petersburg, Florida, and North Carolina. Who else has an experience they want to share?

I'm a SLIder and have been since early childhood. I'm also one of the founders of the first group on social media's FB that consists of over 2k SLIders and would greatly appreciate hearing from you in the near future!
