How to go about a weekend light schedule?

What would be the best route to setup a weekend light schedule? Right now my lights come on around 11:30am and set around 11:30pm (roughly, according to SUN command).

I would like for the lights to come on around 9:30am and set around 9:30pm on the weekends (roughly according to SUN command).

Here are my outlets now:

BlueLED
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Outlet Day = OFF Then AI-Night
If Outlet Sunrise = ON Then AI-Blue
If Outlet Day = ON Then AI-Blue
If Outlet Day = ON Then AI-Storm
If Outlet Sunset = ON Then AI-SunSt

WhtLED
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Outlet WSunrise = ON Then AI-White
If Outlet WDay = ON Then AI-White
If Outlet WDay = ON Then AI-WStor
If Outlet WSunset = ON Then AI-SetW

WDay
If Sun 330/150 Then ON

Day
If Sun 300/240 Then ON

Sunrise
If Sun 240/000 Then ON
If Outlet Day = ON Then OFF

WSunrise

If Sun 270/-030 Then ON
If Outlet WDay = ON Then OFF

WSunset
If Sun 390/210 Then ON
If Outlet WDay = ON Then OFF

Sunset
If Sun 360/300 Then ON
If Outlet Day = ON Then OFF


Thanks for your help!
 
Here's how I handle it.

M - F the lights turn on at 8:30am. On Sat and Sun they turn on at 7am. Here's the entire outlet program but the salient parts for your question are lines 3 - 5.

Fallback ON
Set OFF
If Time 07:00 to 08:30 Then ON
If DoW -MTWTF- Then OFF
If Time 08:30 to 18:00 Then ON
If Temp > 82.0 Then OFF
If Temp < 76.5 Then ON
Min Time 010:00 Then OFF
 
Aquamanic thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I cant simply use ON commands with my lights. My lights call upon profiles since I have a VDM and use AI SOL light fixtures. I do understand I can use day settings but I think I will have limitations with the code.

What is the max amount of lines I can have per outlet? The only way I can see this will work would be something like this:

BlueLED
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Outlet Day = OFF Then AI-Night
If Outlet Sunrise = ON Then AI-Blue
If Outlet Day = ON Then AI-Blue
If Outlet Day = ON Then AI-Storm
If Outlet Sunset = ON Then AI-SunSt
If DoW S-----S Then OFF
If Outlet WEDay = OFF Then AI-Night
If Outlet WESunrise = ON Then AI-Blue
If Outlet WEDay = ON Then AI-Blue
If Outlet WEDay = ON Then AI-Storm
If Outlet WESunset = ON Then AI-SunSt

If this wont work is it possible that if a outlet is on I can call on that outlets code to run my LED's? Like how a outlet calls on a profile if the outlet is on.

Example:

BlueLED
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Outlet Day = OFF Then AI-Night
If Outlet Sunrise = ON Then AI-Blue
If Outlet Day = ON Then AI-Blue
If Outlet Day = ON Then AI-Storm
If Outlet Sunset = ON Then AI-SunSt
If Outlet Weekend = ON Then Outlet weekend
