alright, quick question.
i've been turning my lights off at night and turning them on in the morning, like i was told. but i heard that i should put them on a timer and i was wondering what kind of schedule to set? does it matter more what time it turns on and off or how many hours its on? and what does it harm if they're on too long?

i'm thinking right now i don't have a whole lot to mess with, but i'd like to get it figured out. i'm thinking of getting a cheap damsel soon to help cycling. is that a good idea?
