I'm not really sure how tall they were, I usually flip when I have the basic plant structure and # of bud sites I'm shooting for, then train and supercrop to control height from there. Actually, height is usually an issue for me because I do like to grow big plants, and I like to veg for a good while too. One thing that bugs me is how much space the light's mounting hardware takes up, and also, how much space the rope ratchets take up when we have them pulled up as far as they will go. Once the ratchets are all the way pulled up, they still take up 4-5 inches or so of vertical space, so I just use a couple of large zip ties at that point. Here is a pic, maybe it will make more sense than what I just wrote sounds to me.

I leave the rope ratchets on, but use zip ties on each side to raise the light that last few inches, if I need that last bit of height.
