The Greeks and Romans first used lanterns in the street, which burnt oil.
However, the first electric street lamps were invented by the Russian, Pavel Yablochkov in 1875. It was powered by an alternating current source, just the same as today's high pressure sodium bulbs use.
The peak of technology today uses LEDs which give off a white light, rather than the orange glow of the Sodium lamps. These LED lamps run on DC power.
