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.

There is no "law" but proper flag etiquette requires that there be sufficient light to be able to tell that it is an American Flag. If there is already sufficient light from a street light, your post light or porch light, no additional lighting is necessary and only adds to light pollution.
