I run them full blast only in flower, for veg I go to about 50%. I run a 18/6 cycle for veg so I can use 50% less light intensity compared to flower, but still achieving the same DLI. The lights are about 2'-2.5' above the canopy and I'm still hitting around 1100 PPFD. They are very powerful and efficient lights for a great price. The only better design would be the lights than use multiple strips attached to one fixture (Check out the Scynce LED Raging Kush for example). Those style lights have a more uniform light spread compared to the HLG, but if you have the grooming skills combined with a SCROG, you can get the same performance from a HLG for 1/2 the price
