i got a par meter if you need advice on power and height....im hitting 450-500 from 24 inches at little less than half power

Thankyou @SOOTDAWG thats great to know, thank you,
Is it better to hang at 48" @ 100% or keep it at 24" @ 50%
Does it make a difference in light quality or anything or just better for longevity of the lights life & electricity costs?

You reminded me that I had to make a raised platform for the fabric pots to sit ontop so got to work straight away,
Mines is the cheap option tho lol,
4 birdcage panels screwed to wood batons with two 2.5 x 4 foot trays underneath to catch any runnoff

A quick question to the HLG rep if I may, I am currently using a HLG-320H-C1050 with 6x Clu048-1212's @ 1050 ma, my draw is 275 watts which seems high for the lamps 6x 35v @ 1050, so I am thinking about 40watts is being wasted in conversation and heat. would be about right and normal?
