LED Light vs Flourescent Lights

[Merlyn]

If what you say is right about LEDs not putting out enough lumens, keeping them at that distance will just add to the lack because lumens deteriorate exponentially the farther away you get from the source. That's why 2.5 to 3 feet away from the foliage is ludicrous ! That's the distance suitable for HID lights because they DO put out a massive amount of lumens !
