If the temperature is between the listed norms for an ecosphere, how many hours per day should the light be on?

Mine sits on a table out of direct light. We don't do anything special. Just regular houselighting throught the day as we live our life.

I leave mine on my desk at work. While it's probably not optimal, the lights are on 24 hours a day there. I have not noticed any detrimental effects from this, but the booklet that if you see excessive algae growth then you should lessen the amount of light it is getting.

It all depends on what you're running on it. If I'm using a sixty Watt bulb it's good for 11 1/2 hours. That's what I use it for in the summer at festivals.

I would guess 8 to 10 hrs. A day. We don't pay much attention here in sunshine state. They look really well along front of the house they cast a star shape light.

Never set mine on 5. Run on 1 or 2. Get 40 to 50 hours. Have a small place on a Mexican beach. Just take early morning chill off, with temp down to 45 or a little higher.

I'm pretty sure that the minimum increment of on or off time is one minute. The maximum on time is dependent on your bulb life.

I routinely leave over 12hrs a day. 3 things though, I have air circulation the lamps are pointing upwards, and as per manufacturer I use CFLs

I would imagine you will hit the limitations of the battery no matter how much sun it received the day before. I remember seeing my light work as late as 4 AM. You may need to go with a wired solution for anything better.

There are only the preset hours. It goes to a warming setting after the preset time.

Thats going to depend on where you tun it. Keeping it out of sunlight & indoors well ventated in a camp for example makes a difference plus temp settings. For example I ran it zones set about 20/35 degrees for about 3 weeks in late September to eary Oct. it would cycle maybe 10 - 15 minutes out of an hour depending on how often your opening compartments. On a 1/3 kilowatt solar system & 400 ah battery bank I had no problem and reserve power.

There is a setting that you can set it for 24 hour operation meaning day and night, I don't remember if the other setting is by time or by sunlight.

Available settings are Auto, low, medium, and high. The LED indicator is to set the time only, not temperature.

You can keep the light on during the day and evening but be sure to turn off before you cover the bird or retire for the night. I leave ours on from 10 to 12 hours a day and also use a heat lamp during the cold months to help keep them warm as the FeatherBrite does not give off much heat as it's a compact fluorescent with added features for good bird health.

One to two hours on constant run. It will get a little warm around the top on constant run. But it's a great light

When the solar panel has full sunlight, no obstructions, my light will go for at least 5 hours. I say "at least" because I'm not paying attention the entire time. I use it to light the trunk of a tree.

The minimum on/off would be one minute. The max would be 23 hours 59 minutes.

Keep the lights on for 18-24 hrs during the grow cycle, then reduce lighting to twelve hours and it should flower on it's own.

Depends on the sunlight during the day. Sunny days they stay on about 8 hours, cloudy days can be much less. Also make sure the solar chips on the tops of the lights isn't covered or shaded by folage.
