We turn the wing landing lights off climbing thru 3000' agl and turn them on descending thru 3000' agl. The use of the Ground and Wing/Nacelle Flood Lights is on below 10,000 msl in climbs and descents. The vibration of the wing landing lights on at high speed is a nuisance.
The 10,000 foot mark comes from the FAA's "Operation Lights On", (forget AC #) which recommends ALL lights on anytime below 10,000' to aid in "seeing and avoiding".
