# Street lights

**Street Light Feature Type definition:** A point representation of a pole mounted light which is positioned to artificially illuminate sections of a road or path.

[Street Light](https://docs.os.uk/osngd/data-structure/transport/transport-features/street-light) features are used to identify the location of pole-mounted street lights. 

Street Light Presence attribution is available against the [Road Link](https://docs.os.uk/osngd/data-structure/transport/transport-network/road-link) and [Path Link](https://docs.os.uk/osngd/data-structure/transport/transport-network/path-link) Feature Types to indicate how well-lit individual Road Link and Path Link features.
