    I would lower it down a ton.

      Everything I’ve seen said to have it 12-18 inches higher than my tallest leaf

      You can always adjust depending on the results you get. I have a very similar looking light and I get the best results when it's closer to the leaves.

      I’ll move it down some and see. I’m so excited to see what it does!!

    Does anyone find these lights actually work? I have pretty much the same ones but they really don't feel like they do anything

      I have found them super helpful. But pictures above I put mine very close to the plant.

    I also put mine very close to the plant. If you measure with a light meter (I see there's one included in this app) at the leaf, you'll see how much light it's actually getting. B/c LEDs don't really produce heat, you don't have to worry about them burning due to proximity. I would also move the stake to the middle so the halo is slightly out in front of the leaves (instead of directly above) and tilt it downwards more to encourage all the leaves to face forwards

      I hope it helps! I have the same light for mine 😊 you could even use the post as a stake if you wanted to tie the stem for support 🧡
