My 1kw lites are about 6 inches from the tops, but I use a light mover. You will need to back up to about 12 inches.

im air cooled and the do great at about 8 , whats the advantage with a mover setup?
The old tried and true back of hand to light to feel how warm it is, works. Since obviously everyones setup is different, hard to give stiff advice. Usually if too close you will see whiting not browning. I run 3X600 and 6-8" would be right in my setup(no glass, open air venting and fan between bulb and tops).

Just stretches your energy dollar, imho.
Glass diminishes lumens reaching the plants. If you don't need it for air cooling, your plants can benefit from increased lumens....

Damn, I never thought about my glass.. Does that rob a lot of lumens?
Depends how clean it is! You're payin for 'em, might as well use 'em....
