Light distance

  1. I am running 400W MH/HPS light fixture at the moment. Sadly my led light system is broken beyond repair so this system is what I have to work with now. What I'm wondering is how does the distance from the plant vary from an led system? I have the light and plant separated by 16in, should I decrease that gap or widen it?


    Bulb currently in the system is an agrosun gold 400W high output horizontal.
     
  2. Air cooled? If not I'd say stay there or go up a bit

    this pic maybe of help, heat is your main concern
     
  4. i'm running a 600w in an air cooled hood and its about 10" from the tops. i do the hand test and i can get up to like 6" from the light and its comfortable. but i think 10" is good for me. no heat stress or burning yet
