The comments above are right on.
Additionally, you might want to consider that if you have the power, hanging your light further from the canopy will generally lead to more even coverage across the grow area with less of a hot spot in the middle.
That why when you see big licensed grows their lights are often pretty far from the plants, but they have the power and across the whole warehouse the light levels will be similar everywhere.

I set my lights in veg to keep room temps about right and set height to what the plants like which means dimmed to around 50% in early veg and a couple of feet

Spiderfarmer has their recommendations on their web site. Typical is 24" give or take during the vegetative state. The intensity level should be moderate, prolly 50% max at that stage of growth. Don't blast the plants with light. The intensity will get the light down into the canopy. The spectrum is there regardless of the intensity. Watch the plants and see how they respond. As the plants mature increase the intensity. In flower you'll want the lights 12"-18" above the canopy and the light as intense as the plants will tolerate.
