I currently run my lights from 3:00pm to 8:30pm. Then moonlights from 8:30pm to 3pm.

What is everyone else doing?

Thanks in advance.

I just picked up some slimline s-12s and the begin lighting up at 6 Am (very dim) and go off at around 10. From 10-6 they dim down to moonlights. I had my old metal halide/LED setup to go: On blue led's at 8, on metal halide at 10, off metal halide at 6, off blue leds at 8.

edit: on the metal halide setup I ran moonlights 24hrs/day.

I run a mixture of 180w of various LED lighting and a 250w halide. The LEDs start ramping up at about 10am, then ramp down about 9pm...the halide is on for about 6 hours right in the middle.
