Compare the California Vehicle Code, which requires lights and reflectors during darkness, which is defined:
“Darkness” is any time from one-half hour after sunset to one-half hour before sunrise and any other time when visibility is not sufficient to render clearly discernible any person or vehicle on the highway at a distance of 1,000 feet. (Cal. Veh. C. § 280)
Sec. 541.401. MISCELLANEOUS TERMS. In this subtitle:
(1) "Daytime" means the period beginning one-half hour before sunrise and ending one-half hour after sunset.

(5) "Nighttime" means the period beginning one-half hour after sunset and ending one-half hour before sunrise.
