It sounds crazy to raise your lights for better penetration down deep but the meter don’t lie.

No they don't. You see things totally different with a meter in hand.
That isn't as bad as I thought...... it will have to wait though.
I can hit 1800 umols at 12” from the canopy which is drastic overkill, raise them up and the light spreads more evenly across the plant. Still getting 500-600 umols 24” down into the plant.

Well I just dropped mine closer to a foot. Maybe ill just tug them back up a tad....
I hate how it's a guessing game without a meter, but I can't afford one yet. Growing has saved me money, but sure hasn't made me any, yet.

You can definitely lower your smaller qb120s. I've had mine 4-6 above my tops for months and the next day my plants would be touching them. I wouldn't try that with my 260 kits at all
