Time it right and no lights are required. I imagine last thermals would end about then anyway. No lights are required until 30 minutes after sunset. 30 minutes after sunset is what most states use for driving without headlights. I think technically you're legal to fly until the sun drops below the horizon, if it weren't hidden by mountains.
