depending on your grow room setup, 1 1000w hps will cover an area of 8' X 8' or 64sq ft which = about 2,300 lumens per square ft, so if your area is bigger than that you want to overlap the lighted area, so id place them where you get a 7' x 7' or 6' x 6' light coverage, so you get 1' - 2' of overlapping light from both lights. the rule is to have about 2,500 lumens of hid per square ft. thats what id do, but ive seen growers hang 1000w lights only ft apart. are u asking as: whats the best way to setup them for light coverage or for safety reasons (if for saftey reasons i wouldnt place them any closer than 24-36")? i seen youve added a sig to your profile, + this question, what u trying to do, make me look dumb or throw me off, or yourself smarter, i never made a claim that i know everything about growin.
