Street lighting was pretty rare before the 17th century. Rome did not have it, for example, in any form before the 4th century CE. It required wealth, a means of casting, and ideally intensifying, light, and a corporatist attitude on the part of a city or town that seems actually to have been rather rare. One of the very few places that did have street lights in antiquity was Antioch, but we have very little idea of why this was, or of what the lighting system consisted of.

I discussed the advent of modern street lighting here (note - owing to deletion of the OP's account you may not be able to read the response unless you click on the supposedly deleted comment...) And an earlier thread here with u/UndercoverClassicist and others examines street lighting in antiquity. You might also like to review these answers while you wait for fresh responses to your query.
