Led light distance in flowering stage

[Ds199511]

Hi I am currently in the flowering stage and need to know if I can go any closer with my led light. It says on Amazon it is a 2000w light but I can't seem to get hold of the manufacturer to get best distance info. I haven't been going lower than 25" any ideas here is the info on back of light

Specs on Amazon say it pulls 200 watts
Also says Light MountingHeight: 5-12in above canopy
I might start at 18 and slowly work your way down

get a light meter and see what your lights are actually doing at the canopy. I did a study on my lights and came up with this chart:

Was that for the xeccon 2000w one? Thanks

So I can definitely lower it more than 25"?

It says it's a Vander Life 2000 watt LED
I can't link it or I'll get in trouble again

Ah right cool I will lower it thanks for some reason it said xeccon on Amazon but it definitely says vander on it

I actually own a Vander or three, and highlighted them in my first LED grow journal. You might want to check out what I found:

Emmie's 6 Plant, True Living Organic, LED Grow Journal

First, the varieties. I have gone classic in my selection, bringing back some old standards and personal favorites. This run will have 6 different varieties, Jack Herer, Wappa, TrainWreck, NYC Diesel, Ice Breaker and Super Cheese. I have purchased a new 1500w LED light to start these plants in...

Does it spread quite well I've only got 4 plants under it? It should be ok

I used two of them in a 2x4 grow area... and it worked pretty well!

Yeah my tent is only 1200mm by 1200mm and light is now 18" from the tallest

that should be enough... invest in a light meter though so you can get the right distance and LUX for the stage you are in. Don't waste the bloom switch while in veg... just get closer till you are in the range.

definitely... in bloom I had mine down to 8" and in veg I don't think I was ever higher than 18... would have to check my journal to be sure, its all in there.
