Heard there was something that detects the day light and night time, called a BUD system? is there anyway to maybe make it power a sticky pistion to push out a glowstone when it gets dark?
You can do it. It does use an array of sensors which use grass and water. I dont know how to build it though. With enough piston skillz, you can make glowstone rise up out of the ground at sunset, and retract back into the ground at dawn. Check Day/Night Sensors on youtube.
It's possible without redstone lamps. Hasn't anybody here heard of glowstone? The easiest way would be to use block switchers and just have ground lights. It's possible to have some light posts, but they would be small and the mechanism would become pretty complicated.
of course it's possible with glowstone, it just becomes enormously clunky and reaches a point where it's "not worth the bother".
Well, not worth the bother to me or you. But, I'm sure it is to someone out there. In fact, DewRadley pulled it off with ground lights and a sensor, which does its purpose and still looks pretty sweet.
Honestly, I would never want to build this either, I'm just saying it's possible. Every one of my projects are things most people don't think is worth the effort. So I'm fairly certain there are people out there who would actually have the motivation to pull this off.

I've seen theres ways for the pc verison to make automatic street lights, was wondering if there was a way to do this for the xbox?

Going to look into this. It would be neat.
I still don't know that it would be possible without a redstone lamp.
UNLESS you have pistons set up to hide the lights.
