 Light cycle for UVA/UVB lights

I’m thinking of cycling the UVA/B lights to mimick a more natural day/night routine. Would I have the UVB on the for the longest and then the UVA come on shorter to create the heat of a mid day sun? How many hours of UVA vs UVB light is optimal? I’m thinking the UVB should come on at sunrise and off at sunset and the UVA come on 2hrs after sunrise and off 2hrs after sunset?

Correct me if my thinking is totally off here?!?

Thanks!

I think that would work out fine. I have all my lgihts come on and go off at once, but it’s purely for my convenience.
