Contemplating doing solo at SITS this year and just trying to work out how much light I'll need.
I've gone on a sunset sunrise website but appreciated that doesn't really tell the whole story like if its incredibly cloudy (don't want to say raining! ;)) itll get dark a bit sooner etc etc.
Think Im right in thinking that you need your lights on from 8pm and reckon it wont be properly light till 6am so roughly 10hrs worth of light.
That about right?
Cheers for any help
seems about right, depends on the weather though. there should be a charging station too

About 20:30 to 05:30
I think they insist on you having lights fitted for any lap starting after 20:00.
The old headlight law for cars was half an hour before sunrise and half an hour after sunset, so you should be OK from 21:00 to 05:00.
