How far above the seeded flats do you keep this fixture?

I start my seeds in a humidity dome until they sprout and they are healthy. Once under the lights, I set the fixtures, about 3" above the tips. To get a good feel, hold your hand, back side up to the lights, near the tips, for ten seconds. If it feels to hot raise the fixtures, slightly. Just a tip, If you buy started seedling trays, from a nursery, you are going to bring home bugs. Not good for indoor growing.

about seven to eight ft high / that's how high I put my lights / the lights work great / make sure you have plenty of sun / work better in the summer months because the days are longer more sun light /

Anthony, I'm a bit slow on installing these, I bought 8 fixtures last year and another 2 recently. T8 fixtures are supposed to work well in low temperatures (20 F) so I'm trusting the liturature I read and what I've heard from coworkers enought to buy 10 of these fixtures. Sorry I don't yet have first hand experience.

About a foot... I absolutely love this fixture! I have two... one in the hallway and on the stair landing. I will probably get another for my mud-room.

Nate Berkus said on one of his design shows that 36 inches between fixture and table is a good standard. That gives enough room for a centerpiece and still leaves it easy to change the bulbs. I bought this fixture and put a swag chain on it and hung it in my living room in the corner with a low wattage bulb to just have a little light in there. It's pretty heavy.

Sorry, the fixture is mounted in my 2nd home and I won't be there until mid-May, again. I can save your inquiry and get back to you.

Approximately 2 feet. We have the fixture hanging from a 9 ft. ceiling and the base of the fixture (not the chain) is about 5 feet 10 inches off the ground.

I have a sloping ceiling and had a wedge of wood cut so that the fixture could be installed flush to the ceiling. Hope that helps!

My bulbs are installed in a horizontal orientation under a metal dome that is only 4 inches deep. At the highest output setting I can still handle the lit bulbs. The base is the warmest area of the bulb, so 'base-up' is probably the best orientation.

The light comes with instructions on how far to keep from the canopy of your plants. For this model it recommends 16-24" away from the top.

Just as someone here answered the higher you go the higher the area it will light up. I provided pictures for a 20ft pole but total is around 16ft of height due to in ground of around 3-4 ft. Do know that on cloudy days the amount it will last will be reduced. I am considering replacing and putting a dusk till dawn light in its place and re-installing on an area that is just too far for me to wire.

My install is similar. Soffit is is above fixture but very high. Arizona monsoon rains have not damaged fixture.

I keep mine about 14", but i used it for seedlings. I then change to a higher wattage lighting. hope this helps.

Less than 1 foot, it must be support closer to plants to do any good... It did NOT help enough to pay for the lights... The lettuce seeds did not survive under this light.... It is simply a collection of red bulbs & blue

2 would be more than plenty! I have one mounted only about 8 feet above the ground in mt front yard and i have nice lighting that easily spreads 50 x 100. So with two on a tennis court i think that would work well, leaving no shadows.

Hello,To be honest, I haven't used them outside yet. My fixtures outside are different than inside.
