Since I have no experience with LED or CFL, I'll let someone else answer that but drop them a few feet for starters anyways.

CFLs should be no more than 8 inches from the plants in my opinion. Not so sure about the LED, it all depends on how hot it gets. Either way it should be as close to them as possible keep in mind without burning them.

The LED should be about 18-24" above seedlings, no closer, but that in the pic is way too high.

Here are some updated photos of my six babies. They are all doing well, one better than the others. But i think all is well. Here are a few pics after 3weeks for the biggest and 1week for the rest.

Any comments are greatly appreciated.IMAG0199.jpg

Try to get the lights as close as possible without burning the leaves. With the LEDs, it is possible to keep them very close, 4-5 inches would be fine, depending on the heat that your light puts off. Remember, if the light is too far away, the plants will stretch, and become thin and wispy. If you keep the light closer, they will be much bushier, produce more branches ie; more bud sites! Happy Growing :)
