Yes, you can fly the American flag at night without light, but it is generally recommended to have it properly illuminated if displayed after dark. According to the U.S. Flag Code, the flag should be displayed only from sunrise to sunset unless it is illuminated. Therefore, while it's permissible to fly it at night without light, it is not in accordance with the spirit of the Flag Code.
