I have a decorative streetlamp in the backyard and it has 3 small light bulbs. My question is probably really stupid but does anyone know where you turn them on? I don't see any switches or anything! Just totally confused! Thanks in advance if anyone can solve this mystery!

Chances are it might be hard wired and you have a switch somewhere in the house or garage.
I assume i's a pole lamp. There must be a switch somewhere in the house, garage, or close by. It can be directly wired and have a sensor that turns it on at night and off during he day. You will have to check switches and look for a sensor on the light.
To prevent a DUH moment make sure the light bulbs are good.
If all else fails - call an electrician.
Is it hard wired or solar? If it is solar it may not be getting enough sun. If it is hard wired it could be the wiring and you will need an electrician.
Check for switches in the garage, rooms within view of the light. Any switches that look out of place or don't seem to do anything in the home.
