The Mid-point shift setting is only relevant when your streetlight setting program uses "Midnight" as a
switching moment.
Calculation Example:
For calculation we use a day of 1440 minutes, where Sunset is at 19:00 (1140 minutes) and Sunrise is at 6:25 (385 minutes):
• The night duration in minutes is: 1440m
• The degree of shift = time of sunset
42 minutes.
