I was just wondering how long every one burns thee lights for.
mine are on times. at 7 am my antics come one. at nine my 10Ks come on. and they are both on until 9 pm when the 10K shut off. then at 10:30 the antics shut off and my LEDs burn all night? please i would like to know some other light schedules.

P.S. someone should add a spell check on this. so i don't look so darn dumb eveytime i post

Well on ours we have 4 URI's and each one come on one after another starting @ 800, 830, 900, 930 - then the first MH comes on @ 1000 then 1030 for about 8 hours then the MH's go off and then the URI's till about 800 pm

12 hours of sunlight is supposed to be the norm in the tropics where most of our animals come from.
