This is really simple, and doesn't take too many resources. Anyone who has already experimented with this should already know to do it, but this isn't for anyone that's really familiar with redstone is it?
What this does is, in the day time the lamp is powered off as show here.
But in the night time, when you most need lamps, its powered on.
There you go. Hope this helped anyone wanting something like this!
I'm not entirely sure how they work, I know they detect brightness and the output strength they give is dependant on it, so on sunrise they'll only emit power for one block then fades out then when the sun is up and it's day no power will emit at all, then at dawn, the darker it gets the more power will emit, so at midnight it will have a signal strength of 15
The brighter it is, the more power they emit.
However, they need to completely turn off for the torch to come on and invert the signal, so if you want them to come on early enough to prevent mob spawns you need to either use some wire to lower the signal strength a bit, or use a comparator in subtract mode to lower it. Remember that you can use any sort of container as a base signal for the comparator.

This doesn't work (The torch doesn't turn off for whatever reason); however, it can still be compacted with a sticky piston:
Or if you want to make a nice streetlight out of it:
Tried to make it so they didn't look so messy on the top, but I like how they turned out.
