12 hours act. lights, 10 hours all lights. have the act. lights come on 1 hour befor the day bulbs and have the act. lights go off 1 hour after the day bulbs. then you will have a nice dusk dawn effect.

i just used the cheap timers from wal mart nothing fancy but did the job. as for the moonlights I left those on all the time the fixture will break before those leds burn out. the fans shouls only come on when your day/act. lights come on.
