Default Military Aircraft Lighting

This is probably a stupid question but I was wondering why military aircraft have a yellow strip in some areas along the fuselage and at night it’s a fluro green colour.

do these light up during the night like a solar panel or switched on in the flight deck?
and also what’s the name and purpose of it?

Thanks joe
