Hi Brian,
If you would like to just turn the lights ON and OFF at sunset and turn off at sunrise then use this blueprint Smart Light - Entity - Sun Elevation - Ambient & Time Triggers. Once you installed it I have provided your YAML for you to copy / paste it in. Look in Trigger - Sun Elevation and adjust your falling and rising settings to sure your requirements. Then sit back and enjoy.
