hand technique with hps

so i have a 600w. i am using my hand to see if the light is too close to the plant.

although i have my hand pretty close to the light and its not so much burning, just warm on my hand. i move my hand really close to the hps and it burns my hand.

can someone give me a rough idea how far u keep ur hps away.

the top of my plants havnt burnt. im just wondering if i could get closer, because obviously, closer i get the light without burning them the better.

edit: its just a reflector, not a cooltube

here ya go...

cool i just found that pic in the picutr section, man they got some cool shit in ther. Thsi site is better than tv

hahah yeah... well tv is shit, not that hard to beat

yeah just watch out because last grow i was trying to get them really close to the light and one ended up fox tailing

well yeah, don't get them TOO close lol... lumens go up like crazy the last few inches to the bulb...
