QT to DT - lights?

the perculas have QT'd for a month, and I'm moving them to the DT. In addition water acclimation, I'm assuming lights are a potential stress factor as well. The fish will be moving from room light and indirect window light to 10K 250w MH and T5 actinics in a 29. I'm figuring no lights for the first day or so, and then ramp up a couple hours a day until the normal 7hrs/12hrs MH/T5. Sound reasonable?
 
There should be no light stress with A. percula. Simply add them when the lights are off and they should be fine. There are fish, however, which need light acclimation such as certain flasher wrasses.
