Illumination
The U.S. flag is traditionally flown from dawn to dusk so that it is always illuminated by the sun. It is allowed to be flown at night under certain guidelines, however. Since it must always be illuminated during the day, the same holds true for the night. A floodlight or spotlight must be shown on the flag. This is simple enough to do by placing a floodlight on the ground under the flagpole.
That's right out of the book, so you can see here by this post most people just don't know. As a veteran I'm glad to see flags flying, but it is respectful to do it properly.
