    I use the same lights for almost 4 yrs for indoor growing. If they are auto flower i go with both lights on at approx. 36" then will raise my plant container higher using risers and wood blocks it's just the way i prefer i don't lower or raise lights. If it's a photo plant i use veg light only at same distance for seedlings under 30days old. Again i will adjust the plant height as i see the plant growing. I will then throw both lights on my photos after 30days until it's time to switch the light hours to 12/12 off.

    You may get others with the same light a 450 to say another way. But to start i remember following the Manufactures recommendation from the booklet sent with the light i kept it for references. Good luck read up and have fun.

    Welcome to the HAVING FUN growing club I have 2 blurple lights they're an off brand I can't remember the name right now but they are 2 switch units as well and my first grow I used the veg switch for veg and the bloom from 12-12 to the end and I was terribly disappointed then read and read and found I should have used both switched during flower. My next grow was amazing so don't make my same mistake some light instructions are not helpful quite the opposite... just wanted to share my (stupidity or ignorance) story.
    enjoy what you're doing and you'll never work a day in your life..... Good luck

      Good to know, thanks. I will follow the advice from SoOrbudgal and turn on both lights at day 30. Peace!

        This is how you learn about what your plant will do with height of light. There is a "sweet spot" with vipra maybe with others too i don't know but i know this version. Yep and as you learn you can make your own rules with the timing of both switch's. You can control when you use both switches veg/bloom but that's when your comfortable raising and lowering distances between plant and light. .
