I used a P600 for my 2nd grow (White Widow Auto.) They are bright! I found in veg that I had to keep the lights at about 27"-34" with the 'veg' LED's only on. After the flip to flower, and turning on both the Veg and Flower LED's, the plants grew quickly and nicely towards the light. I found that 18" was a bit too close, and kept backing off to about 24". I was in a 78" tent and found that 4 rope ratchet light height adjusters worked better than the supplied light hanging stuff, as I was able to move the light several inches closer to the top of the tent, as the plants flowered and tried to grow into the light. I got about 1/2 G/W in a 2x4, and the upper bud quality was stellar. Good luck!
