Yep. (30charsssssssssssssssss)
Okay so it doesnāt give me an error but it doesnāt work either. I tried @downcrusher690ās code but it kept cloning the scripts, saturating the models and giving me an error. How can I prevent that anyways?
Try this script(Edit from T_eethyz):
for _, Lamp in pairs(workspace:WaitForChild("Lamps"):GetChildren()) do
local model = Lamp
--Script in Model containing lights
local minutesAfterMidnight = 60*6 --Starts at 6 am
local daySpeed = 1 --Configure this to make days go shorter or faster (2 = twice as fast, 0.5 = half as fast)
local dayTime = 6 --Number of hours after midnight that it becomes day
local nightTime = 18 --Number of hours after midnight that it become night
local lightName = "Light" --Name of parts to store light in
local pointLightName = "PointLight" --Name of point light or other light object with .Enabled property
local lightDayColor = Color3.fromRGB(160, 160, 160) --Color to make light when day time
local lightNightColor = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255) --Color to make light when night time
local lighting = game:GetService("Lighting") --Lighting service
while true do
minutesAfterMidnight = minutesAfterMidnight + (daySpeed) --Increments counter based on daySpeed
if minutesAfterMidnight > 60*24 then --Resets counter at midnight
minutesAfterMidnight = 0
end
lighting:SetMinutesAfterMidnight(minutesAfterMidnight) --Sets time
if minutesAfterMidnight >= 60 * dayTime and minutesAfterMidnight < 60 * nightTime then --Between 6am and 6pm (day)
for i, light in pairs(model:GetChildren()) do --Interate through every object parented to the model
if light.Name==lightName then --It is a light and not just another part
light.Color = lightDayColor --Set color
light.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic --Set material
light[pointLightName].Enabled = false --Disable light
end
end
else --Between 6pm and 6am (night)
for i, light in pairs(model:GetChildren()) do --Interate through every object parented to the model
if light.Name==lightName then --It is a light and not just another part
light.Color = lightDayColor --Set color
light.Material = Enum.Material.Neon --Set Material
light[pointLightName].Enabled = true --Enable light
end
end
end
wait()
end
end

Oh yeah forgot about the while loop. You should separate the
while true do
minutesAfterMidnight = minutesAfterMidnight + (daySpeed) --Increments counter based on daySpeed
if minutesAfterMidnight > 60*24 then --Resets counter at midnight
minutesAfterMidnight = 0
end
lighting:SetMinutesAfterMidnight(minutesAfterMidnight)
wait()
end
into a different script because this while loop is causing the script not moving on to the next lamp. But also put the rest of the code inside another while loop so that it can check for the time forever.

Same results as before 
Iād recommend using the CollectionService and tagging all the lamp parts with a āLampā tag.
This will easily allow you modify multiple parts with your single script, no cloning required.
Simply get this plugin, create a tag, and add it to each part you want to change.
Hereās a code snippet you can use to replace your original.
local CollectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
if minutesAfterMidnight >= 60 * dayTime and minutesAfterMidnight < 60 * nightTime then --Between 6am and 6pm (day)
for _, light in ipairs(CollectionService:GetTagged("Lamp")) do --Interate through every object parented to the model
light.Color = lightDayColor --Set color
light.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic --Set material
light[pointLightName].Enabled = false --Disable light
end
else --Between 6pm and 6am (night)
for _, light in ipairs(CollectionService:GetTagged("Lamp")) do --Interate through every object parented to the model
light.Color = lightDayColor --Set color
light.Material = Enum.Material.Neon --Set Material
light[pointLightName].Enabled = true --Enable light
end
end

Oh my god, I am really sorry I had made a small mistake.
Iāve corrected the code if you are still looking for any help you may contact me whenever.
If youāre looking for an even more advanced and easier solution Iād suggest what @Deadman7117 has replied with.

Iām really interested in your script but I need help configuring it so it works propertly. I did the change of adding the :GetChildren() right after the WaitForChild(āLampsā) and yet it doesnāt quite get it fully since thereās a constant loop inside the while loop that prevents it from ending. Iāve been suggested to separate said looping part by @FlashFlame_Roblox without having any different results.
I seem to have confused you so I am going to just post the code itself.
local minutesAfterMidnight = 60*6
local daySpeed = 1
local dayTime = 6
local nightTime = 18
local lightName = "Light"
local pointLightName = "PointLight"
local lightDayColor = Color3.fromRGB(160, 160, 160)
local lightNightColor = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
local lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")
for _, Lamp in next, workspace:WaitForChild("Where all the Lamps are stored"):GetChildren()
while true do
minutesAfterMidnight = minutesAfterMidnight + (daySpeed)
if minutesAfterMidnight > 60*24 then
minutesAfterMidnight = 0
end
lighting:SetMinutesAfterMidnight(minutesAfterMidnight)
if minutesAfterMidnight >= 60 * dayTime and minutesAfterMidnight < 60 * nightTime then
for i, light in pairs(Lamp:GetChildren()) do
if light.Name==lightName then
light.Color = lightDayColor
light.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
light[pointLightName].Enabled = false
end
end
else --Between 6pm and 6am (night)
for i, light in pairs(Lamp:GetChildren()) do
if light.Name==lightName then
light.Color = lightDayColor
light.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
light[pointLightName].Enabled = true
end
end
end
wait()
end
end

The code tags it by itself, right? How do I attach the code to the tag? Or is it automatic? I tried the plugin but it doesnāt seem to work or Iām using it wrong
When you select an object in the explorer, the tag window will show what tags it has applied to it. To add a tag to the parts, select the tag in the list. (make sure you actually create the tag)

Use collection service, tag the model āLampā or something, then use a script to loop through all tagged models to do stuff to it:
local CS = game:GetService("CollectionService")
function turnOn()
for i, model in pairs(CS:GetTagged("Lamp")) do --loops through every tagged model
--code to turn on light
end
end
function turnOff()
for i, model in pairs(CS:GetTagged("Lamp")) do
--code to turn off light
end
end
while true do --there's probably a better way to do this
if minutesAfterMidnight >= 60 * dayTime and minutesAfterMidnight < 60 * nightTime then
turnOff()
else
turnOn()
end
wait(however long you want) --so it doesn't fire a million times a sec
end
Boom, now no need to clone scripts and lag up your whole game. 
idk if this will work, im totally not qualified to be explaining this kind of stuff

Thanks to @downcrusher69ās script, with some teaks made by him, Iāve been able to apply only one script per model. For future references and everyone who has run into this problem, this is a quick and simple solution.
cloningScri.lua (303 Bytes)
For it to work properly, it has to be a separate script with the proper configuration of your own.
Thank you for eveyone that participated in the post. @T_eethyz code looked promicing, Iāll definetly look further into it. As well as the Tag Editor plugin.
