For this you only need a scene with no code.

For this you need another scene, that turns on the lights, and has this code:

return luup.is_night()

luup.is_night() return true when at night and lets the scene to run. At day it returns false and doesn’t let the scene to run.

In Lua comments are added with “–”. See here for more info.
