Yesterday I just added T5 florescent lights to my system.. from everything I read you want them as close as possible.. roughly 6-8 inches above the plants... 2-3 inches for seeds and seedlings.. but you want to hang the lights on some sort of raising system where you can move them up as the plants grow... I hung mine on a piece of 1X2.. then designed a notch system to keep raising the light as I needed.. That's all I got so far.. hope this helps...

:cheers:
