I think I would go blue lights on 7am off 11pm
White lights on 9am off 9pm.

That is what I do.

What type of lights are you talking about?  Most people will run Metal Halides for about 7 to 10 hours per day and VHO/Power Compacts for 12 hours per day.

I have a coralife pc fixture, I go blue lights on at 10 am until midnight, and white lights on at noon and off at 10. seems to work okay.  My fan only comes on with the white lights as well.
