Is my light to close?

I have a water cooled bulb fixture that gives out no heat what so ever. I can get the plant maybe 2 inches away from it without getting it burned. There's also an A/C that blows the room as well. My question is.. is that healthy? any side effects? Here's some picture's.. It's day 29 of flowering..

If you can keep your hand that close to the bulb, you are fine. Your buds look fine as well. Is light getting to your whole canopy that way? If so, leave it.

thats pretty cool, how much did you pay for your water cooled lights? I never realized they would take away so much of the heat. I'm very interested now though.

Gorgeous plants. if it were me, I'd be nervous and raise em a little, but the plants seem to be loving it.

It's a Fresca Sol. He was asking $125 but I offered him $75 and took it. He also has 400w Hortilux bulbs for $20. I bought a Next Gen 600w Ballast from him for $125. Amazing deals on craigslist.

Look for bleaching....Even though it's not burning the tops, you might end up bleaching it and you might cause the bud to foxtail. Happened to me a while back....Was trying it out and had it less than 2 inches from an air cooled 600....They foxtailed and got bleached from the light
