I've wanted to try LED's how far above the plants do you hang your light? Based on your pictures those lights really perform well. I looked at them on amazon and thought the price was fair.
When I first started I had this led system far too close - not on this plant but another one I was growing, and it got light stress, if I remember right I think I had it around 12in from that other plant, and this was like 2.5 weeks into that grow, so I learned from my mistake then - and now I start them out at 24 inches or so from the canopy, and coincidently that 24 inches is the max height I can adjust to - it's essentially at the very top of the tent ;p;.
Thing is too - I start low stress training at around the 3rd or 4th node [early on], and keep it relatively low, and if any one area starts to get too tall then I just tie down that section accordingly and try to keep all the branches at a reasonable height from the light, because I know if I didn't do the low stress training - those colas would probably be close to touching the light

.
So it's kind've funny in a sense - the light doesn't move for me, so instead of adjusting light heighth - I adjust distance from the light by training the branches to stay at a reasonable distance.
The end result for me during flowering - is around 18 inches or so - the tips of the colas from the light, which has seemed to work out fine, so I try to keep my LST in check to get a rough distance of about that - 18 inches or so.
Though with all that said, leds been pretty versatile for me, so there is 'some' wiggle room with distances.
Sorry if this sounds confusing, hopefully it doesn't.
