Yes, they seem to be around at all times, afaik the only difference sunlight seems to make is that they become illuminated and so more easily detectable. I forgot to mention that in addition to these white specks of light, about a month or two ago I began to detect black ones as well... I don't have any idea the significance that has, except that they both operate within the same "field." Also, nearly all practices working with this involve open eye meditation, with only a few cases of having a similar experience during closed.
