Full time artificial light?

I got a new toy from a gardening mail order catalog --
light & germinating system.
Should I leave the light on all the time or turn off 8 hours during the night? Basement is cold.
Or, please direct me to an issue already discussed forum,
many thanks,
colcol

In general, you'll get better vegetative growth with 24/0. However, be warned that some plants need long nights in order to flower.
