What size tent?
What make, model are your other lights?
If you are slotting it in along side your other lights you might not need to run it full blast.
According to marshydro the TS-1000 par maps below measured in a 2ft x 2ft tent
12" height at 100% 1344 umols seems a bit high for flowering. Maybe 15" - 18" for around 1000 umols at full blast.
12" height at 75% 928 umols would be ideal for flowering.
12" height at 25% would be ideal for vegging.

That's a 150 watt light FYI, not 1000.Just got this mars hydro 1000watt light to add to tent and i heard you need them closer than my existing lights that hang at 24 for veg and 18 to 20 for bloom any help would be appreciated. Someone said 18 veg and 12 bloom that sounds to close to me

I had and have my ts1000 and ts2000 anywhere from 6inches to 12inches from the canopy at full power.
When I first bought them I used the manufacturer distance guide,24-18 inches. it worked.
I have since read that alot of plants can handle up to 1500 ppfd.

The optimal distance for the TS1000(150w) is ~15" to get a max of 1000ppfdI had and have my ts1000 and ts2000 anywhere from 6inches to 12inches from the canopy at full power.

1500ppfd is only beneficial with supplemental CO2

You don't always need CO2 supplement.
Look at the study with charts I posted it shows Humboldt with over 1300ppfd average during the prime grow and bloom season.
Plants want more CO2 in hot weather, not really bright light. Original poster has led lights(leaf surface temp.) so you can put them closer(higher ppfd) to the plants.

My 1st run, I did the light height as recommended in the mars manual.
Was using a TSW2000 in a 3x3 and TSW1000 in 2x3.
My 2nd, 3rd, 4th runs, I just kept it at the top of the tent, as high as I can get, using at 75% intensity for seedlings, 100% for veg and flower, lowering to 75% for the last few weeks or if I notice burn.
Thus, my 5th run, I picked up a FCE-3000 and same, top of 3x3, running 75% atm.
