Honestly I would start with the led strip if it is dim-able for dusk to dawn? then hour later turn on the actinic and off a hour before lights out. The other two circuit add a blue and a white and one runs around about 8 hours and the other 3 or 4 hours if you are worried about too much light. So basically all lamps are on for 4 hours.

Plus led should not have a issue with how long they are run where t-5 does.

But like I said it really depends on what you are keeping. Sps should have no issues with lights being on longer but a chalice would.
Ok I’m thinking of just going with a full photoperiod of 10 hours with the two 6500k bulbs on for 5 hours in between.
