Default Light Placement??

Hey all!
So I tried Phalguy's agar recipe So quick and easy, and so far works...) and planted my seeds.. so far so good. Now I'm curious about lighting. In all the photos I've seen posted here, people are using lights from above and are growing orchids in containers like beakers that have clear tops. My question is this, I'm using canning jars with metal tops. I've hung my lights above them. Will my flasks get enough light or should the lights be behind the flasks so the metal tops aren't blocking all the light? Will it make much difference? How far away should my lights be from my flasks? I'm using 2 of those "light sticks" that are 54 watt and they are about 2.5 feet above the flasks. Advice anyone?
