not at all. every setup is different, although physics dictates that if you want a deeper canopy, expect to increase both light intensity and distance (so the distance from top of canopy to bottom of usable grow zone is a smaller percentage of the overall distance from bottom of canopy to lights
in other words, if your lights were 1 foot away and optimized for top of canopy intensity, by the time you get a foot deep in the canopy, youve DOUBLED your distance to lights
if your lights were 10 feet away and optimized for top of canopy intensity, by the time you get a foot deep in the canopy, youve only increased your distance to lights by 10%
inverse square law dictates that the farther a light source is away, deeper usable cnopy can be.
and no this really doesnt give hps which is typically run at a larger distance, an advantage, because you can put teh same luminosity of cobs up there at the same distance (and it would be superior- super uniform)
