How close should my light be to my plants?

Hi
I'm in Veg at the moment.
I have a 10 light Cree CXB3590 unit for my tent.
My light draws an average of 810 watts and 6.9 amps .
I'm curious on how far my plants should be from the light?
Should the distance change from VEG to flower?
I'm at 24 inches away at the moment.
I don't have a par meter but both light meter apps for my phone read 27079lx with my light at the highest point in my tent and my phone laying on the floor of the tent. I think 27079lx is the max reading for my phone as it's the same right under the light.

I rolled the dice and took a chance on a company on Aibaba. https://szidealight.en.alibaba.com

I figured if they screwed up my Credit Card would cover my purchase.
I'm very happy with my purchase so far.
No dimming switch but I can turn off 5 of the lights
Cheers

800W is overkill for 2x4 space, but 400W would be perfect:bigjoint:
Thx for the Link & How much did light cost if u dont mind me asking:confused:

Around 900 US with shipping, I'm in Canada so it's actually cheaper for me to have stuff shipped from China than the USA.
I know it's over kill for my tent size but I plan on getting a bigger tent and using the 2X4 for clones and mother plants.
I do plan on building my next light.
