    I've been running my set for 7.5 HR everything is looking good. After reading these post seems like I'll add another hour.

    I have a 4 bulb system. A daylight is paired with an actinic bulb. At 8 am my first pair goes on then at 9 my 2nd pair does. At 8pm my first pair goes off then my moonlights go on and at 9 pm my 2nd pair goes off. My moonlights shutoff at 1 am. :)
