Default UVB - how many hrs a day do you have yours on for now its summer?

Well it is 'meant' to be summer! Haku's UVB tube and basking light is on 12hrs a day but does anyone increase it over the summer period?

I tend to put it up to around 14 hours during the summer, and it drops to as little as 10 hours during the winter...

ours are currently on 14 but will hit the 16 hour mark within the next month for the summer and start dropping again about sept.
increasing/decreasing by half hour every 2 weeks is what I try and do.
