Yes, America began to experiment with electric street lamps in the 1860s, although they were not yet widespread. The first practical electric street lighting system was developed in the 1870s, with cities like San Francisco and Cleveland adopting arc lamps. These early electric lamps were often used in limited areas and were a precursor to the more extensive use of electric lighting that would follow in the late 19th century.
Hard to know what you are meaning? A timer is a device in a circuit that switches on then off at given times. There may be many on/off operations not just the one. Think of some lights, say street lights that come on at a certain time then off at a later time. If they are electric that would fit you question. Although the lights are more likely controlled by darkness at dusk and first light in a morning. G4CIR

[edited after some idiot wrote the wrong answer]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.
Sodium (chem symbol = Na) Mercury vapor is also used in street lights. Low pressure sodium vapor street lights are amber/yellow in color, high pressure sodium lights are white and mercury vapor lights glow blueish white.
