We often do early starts when it's still dark outside, especially at this time of the year, though there's always enough light to see what you're doing.

I do a commercial or 2 before the sun rises. Its easy enough on big windows,.. residential work would be much more challenging in the dark tho.

This time of year all my commercial is in the dark. I don't think I would in general be brave enough to do the domestic stuff though.

Opera glasses and a head torch for me although I'm after some night vision sights if anyone wants to sell them.

I started in the dark this morning and finished in the dark tonight, I am knackered though couldn't keep that up much longer, so yes I have wfp domestic in the dark, but it usually just one last house or so

clean a gym and rowing club when its pitch black in the winter. Just go in the gym and turn the lights on so I can see the glass from outside properly as its 29ft high so difficult to see without them on as no street lights around  ;D
