I haven't bothered with extra light for some years but when i did i also found a few hours extra in the morning worked best.

They tend to lay in the morning then rather than late in the day.

The broiler breeder farms I worked on did it that way so that the bulk of the eggs were laid in the mornings then tailed off to just a few eggs in the afternoon.

So you were flat out in the mornings collecting eggs but had time in the afternoons for other jobs.
