I voted wrong. Should have been 10 hours. Forgot to include dawn/dusk I was just thinking Halides.

I did the same, but I have a single actinic for dawn/dusk, I can't count that as light. It's on 8am to midnight..

My dawn/dusk is handled by the seasonal programming built into my apex but it basically varies it from 11 to 13 hours total over the year. I run my MH for a constant 9h/day throught the year.
