Iam hanging my bulb horizontally, with out a reflector. How close can I have my bulb to the ceiling of my closet grow?

2 inches, will that be too close to the ceiling? The ceiling will have either be covered in mylar or flat white paint.

Iam guessing you can have it pretty close to the ceiling, because in a DIY coolt, the tube is only 5 inches in diameter, and a lot of people put Fat MH bulbs inside it.
