According to the law, you're *supposed* to have the flag lit at night. You can take it down every day at dusk if you'd prefer but if you plan on having it up 24/7 it is supposed to be illuminated.

Of course, hardly anyone ever follows flag laws because they're unenforceable.

But if you actually RESPECT what that flag symbolizes, you would obey the laws anyway. Otherwise, you're just displaying false patriotism.
