Are shut off every evening 11 pm. I verified this myself when I went to DC for the stop the steal march on Jan 6th. I walked almost 2 miles on the evening of the 5th just to see the White House, and I was very disappointed to realize the.lights were shut off all except for the flag. The same as they have been in the "10 days of darkness". I asked a SS agent why and he told me they are shut off at 11 every night. That was 15 days before Trump left office. You can verify this for yourself by watching the earthcam stream at about 10:58 pm EDT. The lights will be on up untill 11 pm. It is a residence; not a tourist attraction, and it doesnt need to be lit at all times, so it isn't. You can also make a phone call, it is pretty simple to verify this for yourself, and please do. DO NOT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT!!! This is a Q forum and people still arent doing the work to verify info before they spread it. Please do your due dilligence. The White House lights are not a secret signal, and I am sick of telling people that. Rant over Edit: I spoke to a uniformed USSS officer, not an agent. Link in commemts for details.

One is agent, the other is an officer. One is in uniform, the other is not.

"They regularly interact with the public, something most special agents don't do."
FWIW - I'm a stickler for details. I've lived in DC for decades. I can be at 1600 in 25 minutes. That said, I'm awaiting a F2F with a USSS officer friend to ask him about the lights out. I'm not disagreeing with you, Fren. Just need some clarity.
I stand corrected! Thank you for the info, and thank you for questioning what I posted for yourself. I will edit the post for clarity Please do meet f2f with a USSS officer yourself and post when you verify yourself. Thanks, fren!
My pleasure. I wasn't trying to be a dick, just trying to keep things as factual as possible. I've lived in DC most of my life. Almost all my friends are MIL/IC/LE/FEDLE/GOV - I'm in that mix too. It was the same when people were trying to make a big deal out of the weather on inauguration. No one wanted to believe me that we had an unpredicted snow flurry storm that day, but we did. Also a lot of wind. The devil's in the details. WWG1WGA.
What did you find out?
He's TDY at them moment. I won't get it from the horse's mouth until next week.
Let us know my friend!
You are 25 min away from the WH. Just go there tonight at 11 and watch them shut off for yourself. There will be other officers there too, ask them.
I'll take a pass. I only travel armed and not doing that in DC now. Besides, I'm sleeping at 1100 ; )
