Eh; maybe... seedling is the best time to play it safe, though... if your light is too high, they just stretch further to reach it, then when you transplant, you can bury the stretchy stem deeper in... no risk of burning out your fragile seedling that way. See:
FWIW - I propagate seedlings with a 4-foot, 4-bulb T5 fluorescent at about 6-inches from the leaves, and they don't get stretchy or burned.
Specific light model may help to get a better answer.
Replant Those Long Stretchy Stems ( Its Easy )
This is just to show you how easy it is to bury those long stretchy stems , After you replant them make sure you lower your lights so they wont continue to stretch I do not have a pic of one of those seedlings with the long ass stem reaching for a light that's 2ft high But i got this one...

This. 100w true power or advertised as 100w? If the second its probably only using 25w and i wouldnt be worried about having it to close. You'll get a little catnip plant with that but thats about it.

probably only 12-13w. But if we are talking a 100w led board.... thats way to close.
