This rule is working perfect ALL the time. I would like to limit it only to 11:00 am to 1:00 pm with 3 lights. So just to clear the only change is to limit the time of day that it fires. With 3 lights.
Have you read the documentation that was suggested to you in your other post yet? Rule Machine is a complicated app, and it will take some effort to learn. This kind of automation -- and even more complicated ones, despite what some may think -- could easily be handled by some of the same alternatives suggested there, including Basic Rule, if you don't want to do this.
But to answer the question: you'll see in the docs (and many examples here) that there are many ways you could do this, including a conditional that wraps your entire set of actions (or at least the ones you care about, maybe just the "On" if you always want it to turn off regardless of time) or a conditional trigger. However, the easiest option would probably be to to enable "Use required expression" and add an expression of "Time between 11 AM and 1 PM." This restricts triggering of your rule when the expression is false, which will be any time outside this range.
PS - Are you using a screen reader or similar assistive technology? If not, you have this option enabled in Settings, and it's causing some things to display in ways that are not as friendly for you if you aren't and are instead using regular keyboard and mouse interaction. Consider disabling this option.
