I picked up some lights, T5s, and they have 4 settings. Should I cycle through all 4 and completely turn them off at night or should only use the 4 settings? Its something like dawn to midnight.

Heh.

What my alcohol fueled mind meant to say was different lightings. White, actinics, white and actinics, and LED.

Well then like i said on the 2nd post....

Get 2 more timers and leave the moonlights on as long as you would like throughout the night time. I leave mine on for only 3 hours..
