Space the lights/hoods out so they give even coverage

the deal is in the them reflectors

you want them to overlap slightly

often growers here have little space

give yourself ample space

allow 4-5ft square per bulb

now for the height in inches

good luck

I like to refer to this chart along with the one vostok posted
For height at least. Concerning the spacing between the two lights, I'd have them placed so that there is enough light to give ample coverage for my space.

Do note ur reply is in the footprint of the bulb not the actual light

and one more important fact many over-miss is the footprint of 'most' HID lights

...its rectangular

good luck

I think I have a sunleaves reflector that actually has a square footprint, but I do agree that 90% of hid reflectors give you a rectangular footprint. There are also the parabolic ones.
