A selective street light control system includes a module having a lamp and being configured to receive a light sensor connected to a street light. The module may be configured to cause the lamp to illuminate to modulate the light sensor. The street light may be controlled based on the light sensor, and the when the light sensor is modulated by the lamp of the module, the street light is also controlled by the module. The module is a self-contained unit and that may advantageously be easily and cost effectively retrofitted to an existing installation without the need for expensive re-wiring of the existing installation.
