Street light testing kit

A testing device for substitution for a photoelectric sensor interposed between an electric supply network and an individual electric circuit associated with a luminaire lamp to be tested, said testing device comprising:

• a) a housing having at least a portion through which a light emitted in the interior of said housing can be perceived from the exterior of said housing;
• b) an electric testing circuit accommodated in said housing and operative for issuing an electrical signal in response to detection of incoming voltage at a level above a predetermined level;
• and
• c) a plurality of light-issuing devices all connected to said testing circuit for substantially simultaneous activation thereof in response to said electrical signal, and distributed within said housing in such a pattern as to enable an observer to perceive the light of at least one of said light-issuing devices at any angle at which the observer can reasonably be expected to view the testing device.

A testing instrument for substitution for a luminaire lamp to test the operation of the luminaire lamp itself, as well as of a starter and a ballast associated with the luminaire lamp, said testing instrument comprising:

• a) a casing elongated along an axis and insertable along said axis into a socket of the luminaire lamp to be tested;
• b) two contacts for establishing electrical contact with corresponding contacts of the luminaire lamp socket;
• and
• c) an electric evaluation circuit operative for evaluating voltage levels attributable to the operation of a starter and a ballast of the particular luminaire being tested and issuing different electrical signals indicative of such operation independently for two types of luminaire lamps of different wattage levels.
