This is quite smart!
Cut down on lighting costs once you have your daily light interval. I dig it 
Might just have to measure par though to make sure you will be hitting your DLI, but once you have that and the light is at high level that the plant can handle, it should be all good.
Also here is a list of plants, their life stage, ppfd and DLI requirements: Light Requirements for Plants: Find Your Plant's PPFD and DLI | Photone

I think my cats are on this same schedule.
Actually… the more I look at it… Yeah. 12 hours daylight. 6 hours dusk. full moon for an hour. (cat zoomies). then 5 more hours sleep. Then back to 12 hours daylight.
It adds a night time reset to them.
Well… Hmm… I do enjoy unusual light schedules.
Then flowering. “heres your daylight, now sleep n make flowers”
Yeah… very unusual. I’m pondering.
