Hello I have currently what it says a 60w input,600w eq (supposedly) an I'm trying to figure out a good height with it cause I hang it at let's say 200 true watt height it doesn't seem like enough but when I hang it for like would a regular 60w 12 or so it will burn plants, so I'm new to LEDs I know there lot good people on here with actual knowledge an don't slam on someone for asking a question,.
Info on it

Says 60w with a small x 5 next to it (x5 maybe idk)
Got 234 samsung LEDs supposed be full spectrum
It consists of 395nm of UV,660nm of red light and 730nm of far-red light, 3000K&5000K an has few ir
so my question is were its so intense is It possible that it possible it is using 60w but actually performing better than just 60 like a 10w led is ew to 60watt regular ( for example)

P.s Yes I know it is not the best or anything know will need more light flower all that,so all info towards my topic would be really helpful I am using what I got rn so plz stay on topic lol one again thanks to all you all are the best, this site is onlyone I seen there's actually helpful people that ain't about the hate all time,
 
Forgot this but what I see online it says 32 true watts per foot is optimal an most I will be using is like 2x 2 max an that's giving little extra,once again thanks everyone

You could use a par meter to test the light. They have free par meters on the Android app store. Not sure exactly how accurate they are but the one I've tried definitely can tell the difference between one light vs another with varying results and I found it helpful.
What sort of heights have you tried? I usually test at 18 inches or so and adjust up or down from there. I have seen led lighting with suggested heights of 30 inches+. Never needed anything like that personally but I have had a wide range of results depending on lighting.
 
Try about 12”-15”. Watch for stretch. 60 watts is it no matter what else it says or claimed equivalent. If you see stretch lower it a couple of inches. Doubt you’re going to see burn.
 
Any pictures of the top of the plants, and any showing the plant from afar with the light + plant in the same picture?
 
I'll get sum I set it at 24 an lowering it over few days time like 18-19 rn an seem to be ok still, already have the photone app for reading I found little after posted this which has helped sum lol
I was thinking just 60 can't be to bad so I had close an yes it will toast em seedling especially the intensity seems to be little much close early veg, for once the manufacturers listings was close to being right on a cheaper style light
