An anchor light should never be used while moving.
You give no options but the standard lights depend on things like length overall. A minimum would be port and starboard running lights, masthead light and stern light

Standard running lights. A floodlight on the mainsail is just a good, wise tactic.

A sailboat can certainly be operating under sail at night. Sailboats use their sails when there is enough wind to carry them.
