Small design tip for simple streetlights - Use Redstone Pnumatic Tubes with a Lamp on Top, hide redstone wire underground to connect all your lights together (and perhaps connect up to a light detector, so lights only come on as it get's dark). Then take 2 slabs (using microblocks) and place around the base of the lamp. This hides the tube going into the ground, but still allows for the signal to travel up the tube (side note, items still go through tubes if hidden in slabs)
