I downloaded #StreetComplete, and one quest asks about streetlamps - but we have a situation in my town where on many streets these are only lit from evening hours of darkness until 23:00-23:30, and then shut off until 05:00 (if its not already light by then).
There isn't an option for this arrangment; how should it be tagged?
@vfrmedia The key lit=* indicates the presence of lighting. lit=operating times uses the schema of opening_hours to document when the light is ON, when the lighting is solely or primarily time dependent. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:lit #OpenStreetMap

But that's OSM, the option is not exposed in Street Complete. I'd just go for "lit" at this level.

I recommend using opening_hours evaluation tool [0] if you have various sets of times. It's an advanced tool to generate/validate opening_hours values. If you enter your coordinates (or give access to your location in the browser) it even takes the public holidays into consideration to let you preview and validate your hours. I'd assume the examples provided with the tool, when combined with opening_hours documentation would cover most of the possible scenarios.
If all those advanced features are an overkill for you, YoHours [2] is a much simpler opening_hours editor.

that makes sense (I guess I could go into OSM and refine the tags later, *but* there's a lot of lamps and the on/off times change depending what day of the week it is, whether its a public holiday in winter, *and* the existing ambient light levels!)
(I'd be surprised if this scheme is not uncommon worldwide; perhaps it should have a tag of its own..)
