Does anyone the steps to move Sats from an umbrel Lightning wallet to an on chain (Bitcoin) address/wallet?

I have sats on my Lightning node wallet that I want to move to my bitcoin wallet and I cannot figure out how to do this? Seems like it should be simple process.

If the sats are in your lightning wallet they are used for channels. You can [loop](https://lightning.engineering/loop/) out channels to transfer sats to your on chain funds, and send them to an on chain wallet - or send sats to an exchange that accepts lightning, like Kraken, and transfer them on chain from there.

Thank you. I closed out the channels and the sats moved back to the BTC wallet.
