The rules for taking the flag down at night for a civilian are different than for the military. A civilian must take down a flag before dark if there is no light shining on the flag pole. The flag can be folded but it must never touch the ground. Many people choose to roll their flags to prevent creases.
Generally, it is considered disrespectful to fly a flag, especially the U.S. flag, at night unless it is well lighted. Also, a damaged or frayed flag should not be flown if possible.
The U.S. Flag Code states that the flag should only be displayed from sunrise to sunset, unless it is illuminated. Therefore, flying the flag at night without proper lighting is generally not considered respectful or appropriate. However, some interpretations allow for the flag to be flown at night if it is properly illuminated.
