Unless the street lamp is a self-contained, battery-operated, solar-charged model, it almost certainly would be an ordinary AC-powered light.

Can current flow both ways through a lamp?
Yes, we use AC (alternating current) in our homes, the current changes direction 120 times a second.
Why do you still use both ac and DC?
Because some appliances work with ac current and some with dc current.
What is the use of coupling capacitor?
It allows AC current to go through, but blocks DC current.
Can you generate direct current?
Direct current can be generated by a generator. Generators are not as efficient as alternators ( that generated AC power ). Vehicles use direct current but come equipped with alternators. The AC power is rectified ( changed to DC ) for use.
How can you block ac current?
You can block AC current by using a filter with a pass-band that is outside the frequency of the AC current.
Can current flow both ways through a lamp?
Yes, we use AC (alternating current) in our homes, the current changes direction 120 times a second.
What do you use to make a amp or light fitting light up?
A lamp or light fitting will light up if connected to either Alternating Current (AC), or Direct Current (DC). AC is from the mains, and DC is from a battery. So it depends on the construction and components used to construct the lamp as to which electrical source you use.
What instruments do AC to dc current use?
I would assume that you mean what devices do you use to convert ac current to dc current?The answer is Diodes.seediode-bridge
Can you use AC in motor?
AC current is used in motors.
Why does the lamp bright when connected to the AC?
why does the lamp bright when it is connected to the AC supply
Does 110 use direct current?
No. 110 volt is AC current
Why do you still use both ac and DC?
Because some appliances work with ac current and some with dc current.
Why does the national grid use AC current?
transformers
Do strobe lights use ac or dc current to flash?
Strobe lights use ac or alternating current to flash. The frequency of 50 Hz is alternating current's frequency, coming in handy for its flashing.
What is ac welding?
AC welders use electric voltage directly from an alternating current outlet.
Does Europe use AC or DC current for electricity?
Europe mostly uses 220 to 240 volts AC current at 50 Hz.
What is the difference between elecrical and electronics?
in electronics we use DC current but in elctrical equipment we use AC current
