need profsional advice on led hight <<<<<<<<

so i will start by giving the credit to the dude that colected all this data

he did it realy profasinaly!

so i need help with the best hight to hang hlg scorpion diablo for the most effective hight (yeild and hardest nugs) on 5x5 tent without co2
here is all the data:

HLG's web site has the info your looking for.

I'm interested in the Scorpion too.

If you are confident that your plants can take light intensity start out at 24" and try to move it down little by little until 18" but you must pull back if you see light stress.
If your plants can't take intensity then at 36" or dim it somewhat. These are high intensity lights and they will fry/bleach your plants if you give them too much too soon. Make sure to keep temps up when giving higher intensity.

Cause plants have such shitty reaction to too much led light it's kinda hard to give exact advice, it all depends on how the plants are when they go in to flower. Always err on the safe side on your first grow with a new shiny light.

This one covers around 110 cm of tent. Not 150 cm.
You can get better light/coverage and cheaper too.

according to this
(most pro test i saw in the internet)
i gess i should aim for 22 inch in 4x4 tent (pretty good climate but not perfect). please correct me if im wrong i looking for great looking colas and uniformity and of course the best weight

by the way is there any way to check if my scorpion diablo was used before???
the package was pretty sloppy and i just want to be sure ,its not an cheap toy

HLG has a great reputation.

I should receive my Diablo on Monday, so will let you know.
From my readings I believe that in full flower the lamp would be 18 to 24 inches from the canopy.

yeah i did not say nothing about them
im just abit paranoid that the store i bought from may did few runs with it.probobly they opened it for test that the light ok but still just to be sure...

is there anyway to cheak if the light was running for some time ???????

It should still have the full warranty,
I would contact the folks you got it from and question them.
If they do not give you the answers you are looking for, send it back and buy from someone else.
I bought mine from the manufacturer, got a great price.
