Dan..do ya need em higher off the plants for coverage? You said as long as their 12in or higher? What's the optimum height above the plants for,say,the led equivalent of a 1000w hid?

they recommend 20inches for.the.one I have...theyre very powerful n they say theyll.bleach the plant if too close...mines abt 18inches atm

id.convert to all led if I.was u but thats just me...the light I have puts out 11diff spectrums of lite...core.coverage is 2 x 2...I have the DS100...that 800 covers like 5 x 5...im completely pleased w the.performance of the lite and the plants reaction...theyve stacked really.well and grown like crazy...they love it...ive nvr used hid so I cant say.for.sure but imo w the spectrums.the advanced leds put out along w them being so powerful theyre better than hid...I hope.that comment doesnt bring the haters out...ha

Blackwater?
I do not have any exp with HPS or MH my preferred height is 16 or so inches IDK about the spread with a bigger one but I'd say start it off at 18" above canopy and try moving it +/- 2inches and see what the plants think. LEDs tend to bleach leaves and otherwise stress plants at less than 12(ish) inches above canopy.
