PSALI ANALYSIS

During the daytime, there are PSALI ANALYSIS

Lights switched on during daytime
Lights switched on during night time
lesser rows of lights are switched
on due to the presence of daylight,
as for night time, some alternative
lights are switched on to light up
the space equally when the day is
dark.
