Shouldn’t you be using a PAR meter and the light manufacturers recommendation to determine what height to hang your light?

Nice video, but it would be even nicer if you added centimeters next time, for non-Americans. ;)

These figures have so many variables attached to them that there is no point even stating them.
For a start obviously vented Cool Tube type HID's run cooler than unvented ones do and so can be considerably closer.. There's many other variables too.

So I get the height but what about light setting. Can you place the light closer to the plants at a lower setting?

Its about the light's intensity, which is a function of distance AND the lights power! Bad video.
