Obviously I'm an uneducated boob but can I ask why you ask? I run t5's and always just kept them as close as possible. I'll follow this btw so if its a stupid question, I guess I figure it out soon enough.

Put your plants where you want thats not the point, dont know where ive mentioned this?
I guess i just wanted to know lux or lumens at different distances nothing else.

Sorry to offend lol. Just wondering is all. I know there are a few who say keeping T5's at a farther distance is some how more beneficial. Just curious as to where you were going with this. And guess i was confused I thought it was about distance basically.

That is totally cool of you and i would so much appreciate it. If you post readings please detail your t5's like if its single tube or a 4tube unit and reflector etc and at distace of 6 12 18 and 24 inches. Think best place to take readings is dead in the middle of the tube/tubes.
Thanks man
