        Somewhere in the Reichstag: “Mein gott! A gartenlicht ist kaput somewhere! Hans! Schnellschnellschnell!!!”

          Dude,that is not done in the Reichstag,that is far too inefficient.

          We of course have our own government department for that, the Bundeswegbeleuchtungsreparaturamt (Federal footpath lighting repair authority) which is part of the Bundesimmobilienverwaltung(Federal real estate authority).

          There are of course similar institutions on the state level (besides Saxony/Sachsen, it seems they like to live in the dark) like the Landesweglichtverwaltung (State path light administration) of Baden-Wurttemberg.

          Some larger communities have similar agencies,but most simply have a commissary for it (Dorfweglichtbeauftragter), and yes, they are mostly named Hans, Dieter or sometimes Horst.

          This is actually a very sensitive topic as the people suffered a lot during the war time black outs and therefore wanted to make sure that never happens again. (Besides Saxony, as I said,they prefer to keep it like 45 in some places).

            Can’t even tell if you’re messing with us or if this is completely true.

              What? Messing with you? That would imply humour, which is inefficient and therefore forbidden by law!

              This is scandalous!

                With a thing on a spring that is an injury lawyer’s wet dream? Also that thing is not cordoned off, it’s for general use, even though privately constructed.

                  You know those spring things are in public park playgrounds, right? My daughter played on them when she was younger all the time.

    Maybe the temperature can be changed on the fly and it just glitched out one night.

      Adafruit has an excellent tut on controlling RBGW arrays via a pi pico and circuit python (or a lot of other controllers. or whatever.) I built the niece a night light/bed lamp (along with a white noise generator) It has a number of different odds and ends to control it, including five rotary encoders that also have push-button switches… it didn’t take her too long to learn that, if the button switches happen to be pushed in the right sequence… “Party Mode” comes on, with rainbow flashy goodness.

      The, uh, sequences keep mysteriously changing and getting tougher for some strange reason…
