550w actual draw LED height

[Klum]

I was just wondering how high I should hang my light for each stage of growth for each stage, seedling-flower.
The users manual recommends that the light should be hung at heights of:
44-48 inches for seedlings/young veg
36-44 inches for vegetative stage
32-40 inches for flower
Is this recommendation okay?

I have mine 18 inches above canopy. 18 would be ideal for better light spread depending on what type of led

Ya start at that height, and if they like it you can lower it. The quality LED's are powerful.

Should I also be following the same manual for light intensity settings? Or should I be running at 100% in veg?

You can run at 100% the whole time as long as the lights are high enough. I downloaded a free Lux meter for my cellphone that gives me an idea of the light intensity.

No problem. I find it really helpful to get an idea, and it's free.
