Artifical Light... how long?

[TF3]

I can't believe that breeding time is coming again... :shock:
But if I want to have kits to sell in March, I need to get moving!

Given that our daylight right now is very limited (dark by 4ish) and often days are dim overall~ how much and how long should I supplement light to gear up the gals?
Should I have the rabbitry lights on early morning until later evening?
Just supplement by turning on at dusk until later evening?

And how many days/ weeks will help?
I have begun giving them ACV, but don't know how long to provide light before trying breeding.
(I just want to breed a couple, but I want them to have each other to kindle with for fosters etc.)

I have a smalllamp on a timer, it goes on about 5pm and off about 11 pm. This gives the bunz about 15+hours of "light" since sunset is about 5pmand sunrise about 7 am here.

Mines not on a timer, but with the tarps almost no natural light gets in.
Went to the Wal-Mart picked up one of these

Uses almost no power and very bright.
Just a thought,

I would suggest full spectrum lighting.
