| Type of LED Grow Light | Distance From Plant |
|---|---|
| 1W Bulbs | at least 12″ (30cm) |
| 3W or 5W Bulbs | at least 18″ (45cm) |
| High Wattage (300W+) | up to 30″ (75cm) or more |

Moreover, how far should LED lights be from seedlings?
The G8LED 240 Watt LED Grow Light is for 2-4 mature plants, with a distance of 12-24 inches from the top of the canopy. The larger G8LED 450 Watt LED Grow Light is for 4-8 mature plants, with a distance of 14-30 inches from the plant canopy. These lights also work well for mother plants and cloning.
Subsequently, question is, how far should light be from plant? T5 Grow Light: Distance From Plants To begin with, hang it about 4 to 6 inches above the tallest plant, for vegging or flowering. The T5 fluorescent grow light distance for seedlings should be a bit further away. I'd start by hanging the light 6 to 10 inches from seedlings.
Also asked, are LED lights good for growing seedlings?
LED Grow Lamps LEDs designed for growing plants emit light in the two bands that plants need - red and blue. These bulbs are long-lived (up to 5x longer than fluorescent lamps) and very energy efficient, but they cost considerably more than fluorescent bulbs.
Can seedlings get too much light?
Plants cannot get too much light, but they can get too much of the heat energy that comes with the light. Photosynthesis and other plant growth processes will shut down when the environmental and tissue temperature gets high enough that all the water taken up by the plant is used to cool the plant tissue.
