Been thinking, if your light goes out, your voltage has to be dropping way more than it should when your compressor kicks on. If you have a good 200 amp service, this should not be happening. However, if you have an old service where the power lines coming in to your property are not tri-plex, 3 wires twisted together, you may have an old 60 amp service.
What is the size of your load center? Old fuses mean 60 amp, 100 amp circuit breakers, or 200 amp circuit breakers?
I have a 3 ton A/C, a 20 year old 200 amp service and none of my lights flicker when it kicks on.
All the dusk to dawn lights I've seen, when on, the light sensor will not turn the light off when subjected to low voltage because the relay inside the sensor is already in the off position when the light is on. Therefore, you definetly have a problem for your voltage to be dropping below the ionizational potential need to keep a mercury vapor light working.
Where I live, the owner of the property can up-date his electrical service. You will need to get a permit and get it inspected by the county building inspector before the power company will connect to it.
If you do nothing, make sure the batteries in your smoke detector are good.
It may be cheaper to hire an electrican than paying a phychiatrist:)

The closest town to ours was only 3 miles away, and there were seven dairy farms in the areas of these two country towns. We had 5 acres, and because my Dad was a salesman and not a dairy farmer, he let the Bockovens, who owned the Willow Tree Dairy farm most of our land.
