the obstacle avoidance sensors will not work because of the lack of light

Personally wouldn't suggest flying at night. Definitely not as safe and I know for a fact that you're not allowed to fly here during night hours.

Didn't have to change any settings to takeoff, fly, or land, while looking for a person at night.  Dark enough, only things that showed up on camera was CrystalSky display and person's head light (LED).

I wouldn't turn off any sensors. Only ever flew one night mission, and that was pre-planned in Waypoints, having tested it out first in daylight. Even though the night flight was carried out on a moonlit night, the results were (not surprisingly) not effective apart from the bit where there was artificial (streetlamp) illumination.
