Can someone refer me to how to turn a light on 2 hours in the morning, off for 6 hours, and then on for two more hours? In other words, stagger the time on the same light. Would this work?

If time > 10:00 then LT 3 on
If time > 12:00 then LT 3 off
If time > 18:00 then LT 3 on
If time > 22:00 then LT 3 off.

Maybe not the exact wording on my AC3, but this is from memory. Would it work to turn the light on at 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. and back on at 6:00 p.m. and off at 10:00 p.m.?

Thanks so much. Kay
