yeah u can buy adjustable plant hangers at ur hydro store which work a treat. much easier than fixing the light and raisign the plants

 

but if u must fix the light, then how high you have it will be heat dependent. the rule is generally to have it as close as possible without exceeding about 28 to 30 degrees at the plants tips.

 

for example with a cool tube you can get it alot closer than without.

 

u could easily keep a 400 @ 30cm as i find u can run 600's at 30 to 40cm
