Do we ever see someone toggle their lights (or close their curtains) in exterior miniature shots?

Question

In Star Trek we typically see many exterior space shots of starships, like the Enterprise-D pictured below, where some windows are illuminated and some are dark (see yellow highlights). Up until halfway through Voyager most of these starships shots were done with physical models having physical internal lights, and in my memory the state of the window lights always remained static during those shots. (For obvious budget and TV image quality reasons)

Do we ever see an exterior shot of a physical starship model where the light behind a window switches on or off, or e.g. changes color? Because, hey, at some point somebody must've wanted to go to sleep or was done using the bathroom while 'the camera was on'.

Answer 1

I thought of the ship-wide blackout effects that happened once in a while. This was the best answer I could think of because I don't remember individual windows turning on or off. And interestingly, there didn't seem to be any Memory Alpha articles on the topic. "Blackout (power)" was limited in scope to planetary power systems.

The first episode that came to mind was “Contagion” (S02E11). A great episode overall.

A shut down effect can be seen in this video, with the Enterprise D window lights turning off progressively in four separate groups.

Moments later there is a power up effect with the lights turning on in four separate groups. The episode ends with a warbird powering up all at once. In the remastered version these effects were not applied to the Enterprise saucer section, so only three groups of window lights. However, the warbird effect was improved to show two or three groups of window lights on that ship as well.

In "Phantasms" (S07E06) there is a shut down effect where the Enterprise D loses power progressively across five groups of windows.

Several other episodes had blackouts and power fluctuations, but I think they only used interior lighting effects.

I tried to think of any blackouts on Deep Space Nine. The episode that came to mind was “Empok Nor” (S05E24). It had a power up effect that can be seen in this video.
