Street lamps get their electricity through underground cables that are connected to the main power supply of the city. These cables are buried safely below the ground, often running under footpaths or near the bushes and plants you see around the poles. The power comes from nearby electric substations that distribute energy to different areas. Each streetlamp has wires connected inside the pole, carrying the current up to the light bulb. Some modern streetlamps use solar panels that collect sunlight during the day and store it in batteries, which power the lights at night. The bushes around them don’t give power—they’re just part of the roadside design or landscaping.
