How close to seedlings should I position my gro-lite? I have about 50 peat pellets sprouting with veggie and herb seedlings. My gro-lite is of the bulb-type (not tubular), not sure how many watts, etc. It is held in a round metal housing that clamps onto a 2 x 4 stud. I want to get the light close enough to the seedlings that they won't be leggy, but not so close as to burn them. I'm looking more for a range than for a precise measurement. Suggestions?

1"-3" works for most. Raise as required.
