As we walk through the streets at night, we often take the presence of street lights for granted. However, what we fail to realize is the impact that street lights have on our lives. They illuminate our path to safety and create a sense of security while we roam around the city.

The importance of street lights can be best explained by the famous quote by Thomas Edison, "I didn't fail the test, I just found 100 ways to do it wrong" - a testament to the fact that the creation of a reliable and effective street light was not an easy feat. But today, street lights are an integral part of our society as they light up the city and make it possible for us to move around during the night.

The absence of street lights can have serious consequences on our safety. An example of this can be seen in the rural areas of developing countries where the lack of street lights is a daily struggle for people. The absence of street lights affects their livelihood, as it becomes difficult to perform daily activities, and it also increases the risk of accidents and crime.

On a personal level, street lights have been a constant source of comfort while traveling alone at night. The bright light that illuminates the path ahead gives me a sense of security, and I feel protected from any potential danger that may lurk in the shadows.
