    The reason the sun sets is it takes so much energy to run that they have to switch to a much dimmer “moon” at night to give themselves enough time to recharge the battery enough for the next day’s light. It’s solar-powered, so of course they need to ensure it’s not running at max brightness in order to get the most gains.

      Ah! The sun is run on solar power. Now I understand.
