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.

False. There is no restriction on flying the Canadian national flag at night without illumination. Consider the fact that a large portion of Canada has continuous night for a considerable part of the year. In those isolated climes where it may not be practical to provide artificial illumination, what would we have them do? Of course if it is practical to do, it is not wrong to illuminate it, but the Canadian Heritage Department simply states that "The flag may be flown by night as well as by day."
The U.S. flag should be illuminated if flown at night. If there is no light source nearby, the flag should be taken down at sunset. Flags of other countries may have different guidelines, so it is important to refer to the specific flag code of that country.
It is recommended to only fly the Canadian flag at night if it is properly illuminated to ensure it is visible. If not illuminated, it is advisable to lower the flag at sunset and raise it again at sunrise.
