My opinion is they need a little more heat. A heat mat most likely would do the trick. As for the timing of the lights being on, I don't think it matters whether it is daytime or nighttime. My lights are on 16 hours/day. Using fluorescents will not really do much for temperature increase since they are a relatively cool light source.

Planting outside for me depends on the plants rather than the outside temperature. If the plants are ready to transplant when the weather is right, in the dirt they go. If the weather is right and the seedlings are not, no planting.
