how far away should my light be??

i am trying to grow my first plant in a small hydro system i made using a plastic coffee tin, some plastic tubing ,air stone,pump, hydroton,and a rockwoll cube. i have a 65 watt gro light from crappy tire.. how far away can it be from my plant? :leaf::leaf:
 
no it looks like a flood light.its got a blue film over it. they say they are for plant grow but they are just cheap like 7$. i dunno how close it should be to it

Lights should be as close as possible.

If its too warm for your hand, its too warm for the plant.

Easy peasy
