Flags are supposed to be lowered at night.
You generally raise the flag at colours (0800) and lower them at sunset.
If 0800 is before dawn, you raise the flag at 0800, lower it immediately, then raise the flag again at dawn.
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.
The Betsy Ross flag, like any other American flag, can be flown at any time, but it is traditionally displayed from sunrise to sunset. If illuminated at night, it may be flown 24 hours a day. However, there are no specific regulations dictating the number of hours it must be flown. It's important to follow the U.S. Flag Code for proper display and respect.

Absolutely. Flying your own countries flag is a privilege, however, if you keep your flag flying at night, it must have a light on it.
Have lights shining up at it
If a flag is to be flown at night it must be illuminated. Light that projects upward from below the flag contributes to the increasing problem of light pollution. Downward lighting of the flag is the preferred method of flag illumination. Several companies offer down lighting for flag poles.
