Height in the lights??? Or height in the girls???? I had to google 600D 60cmx60cmx140cm grow tent and it showed it to me cause you are right they are not on the TopLed site right now but I know Sara will take care of me. Height in the lights... They can get really close. My girls are almost hitting them now. I wish they were a bit higher but I have no more height to give them but the buds under the lights are fine and growing and if the question is did the girls grow in height under the LED's yes. Hope that helps. If not stop back by my journal and I will help with what I can.......
Grats Dennise, how quickly did you email her, I saw about 8 hours after she posted figured i was too late? Was going to try and get for my g/f, gave her my 100 W LED.

Sorry for the late pics Sara
Like I stated before I had purchased a 48 x 3w reflector panel that I had used for about 7 Months and in an 80cm x 80cm x 180cm tent here is how she produced. I also noticed that there was some emotion and lack of confidence from previous posters.
1) I am not sponsored by Top LED grow/Sara etc. nor have used any of the vouchers they had sent in the past for further discount.
2) I had researched and tried my own luck with LED and I am totally happy and hence why I came back for another model with more power. For me the savings in heat management and long term electricity is enough
The packaging was perfect and you will be glad to know Australia Post did perfect

Hello I'm new to 420 and have a question about these lights. I grow under 600 hps now in a 4x3.7x7.5 usually grow 4 to 5 plants in hydro. I use a quality mh bulb for veg and a quality hps bulb for flower. I'm looking at the Mars II 1200w light. Is this light just for veg or veg in flower. I didn't see in the description that it has a veg flower switch. Would this light work for me? Thanks a lot.
I use a 1200 in a 4 foot by 4 foot tent, it is a bit of overkill, so be good for you, but you could do one size smaller and be fine too. Same for both veg and flower.

What Crawdaddy said.....
I have a question to anyone using the mars II 1200 for flowering... how much space are you putting between the top of your plant canopy and the light itself? I have read for seedings 2 ft, but I hardly think that would be efficient for flowering. Is 6 inches too little? What is the optimal distance to place? Thank you!
So far I am putting lights at about 6'6" and then letting plants grow up to light. So I have my seedlings 5 feet away and they not stretching. I think 2 feet is even to close for flowering with the 5w diodes.

Correct 2 ft is way to close for seedlings, drdank said its best to mount LEDs to the ceiling and let the grow to the light. I think for flowering plants you want 24-36 inches depending on your light.
I had my 3W reflector light ~ 10-12" from some plants and burned the crap out of them. That will be way too close with 5W diodes. Didn't your light come with a paper inside saying the optimal distance?
no paper, just coupons. That being said, I ran my seedlings at a distance of 2 ft from the light and they are fine and healthy. I didnt notice any burn whatsoever. If anything, the plants are just much more bushy and squat(mars II 900w in 4x4 tent). I have a couple of plants that I have put into 12/12 flowering(mars II 1200w area 51spec) with a distance of 7 inches, but based on the feedback will move them up.. it maybe what has been stunting their growth vertically.

I don't have the 5w but I do have several of the 3w TopLeds and I just had to move my lights up off my girls in flower and had to move heaven and hell to get them any higher but I was afraid it would burn the buds. 
They are in full flower now and have stretched a lot and I have the lights as high as possible without tearing down ceilings (not going to happen) and they are only about 6 or 7" off the tallest girl and so far so good. I held my hand on top of the tallest girl and it was barely warm but if I had my rathers it would be at least 12" off of them. So with that being said I know the 5w get warmer than the 3w but have a better fan system but the lights themselves if too close will burn no matter how good the fan is so if it were my girls I think if it were possible I would raise the lights to at least 12". I didn't keep the papers that came with my lights but I do think there were guidelines included in them. I checked on the site and it is not listed there but I'm sure Sara will confirm what the suggested heights are for your specific light. Hope this rambling has helped ya some...
