Electrophilic addition on cyclopropane using sunlight

It should say "in addition to" rather than "instead of".

Cyclopropane suffers badly from ring strain. The bond angles in the ring are 60° rather than the normal ~109.5° when carbon makes four single bonds. In the absence of light, when in contact with $Cl_2$ or $Br_2$ the ring will break and addition occur.

In sunlight, both the expected substitution reactions and the addition reaction will occur.

Can't find the reference I thought I remembered, but here's a site or two discussing it:
