Is painting in the dark with a flashlight good?

OK, so they are working into December to finish painting the outside of our condo building, which can be considered nice because they may actually finish this year. (It's already been a year and a half since they started.) BUT is it good that they are painting in the dark? Is it good that it's past 5 pm and they are still painting? The sun went down about an hour ago.

The building has gone through stages of men redoing the edges of all the windows, replacing tiles on open balconies (to the exact same colour tiles, just a bit bigger - why?) to painting the beige bits (with more beige paint, maybe a bit lighter, but essentially the same colour). And it's all been annoying as hell due to the construction debris that is everywhere (don't park your car near this building unless you want dents), the scaffolding which makes the place look terrible, and the bloody noisy, bad mouthed construction workers with the bad taste in music constantly outside our windows.

We have many paint spots on our windows already. I shudder to think what these men are doing to the windows in the dark. Is there any chance of ever having clean windows again?
