Moon Light

I have my moon light bulb set up and I am ready to go. How long would you run the bulb?

I have my actinic's that come on 1 hr before, then the haldies, then actinics for 1 hr after, but when would you turn the moon light bulb on and how long would you run it?

Ltspd,

I use the "when I go to bed" approach right now.
approx 3-4 hours.

Unscientific...I know.

I have an autocontroller II which calculates the moon ephemeris... remember that the moon actually rises 30 minutes? earlier each day so often the moon light is "on" during major portions of the day. The autocontroller is also able to simulate the new moon/full moon cycle by varying the lamp output...
