LED light positioning

I converted a 4x5x7 wine closet to a grow room. Couldn't afford collecting wine and buying weed. The walls, floor and ceiling are covered with a hammered reflective paper. After 20 or so grows, I recently switched from one 400W HPS to 2 Viparspectra V450's. My question is what is the best separation of the lights to maximize the PPFD below?
 
Not sure i understand " best separation of the lights" mean? But if your asking about height or distance between both lights, I have the same old vipars you do plus the newer P2500. I've used those 450 for years :D. They will run warmer than the newer LED but not as bad as HPS. All i ever did if i felt the tent got to warm was open the vent door put a stand up fan outside let it ocillate on low. I live in Oregon an don't run them when it's summer i grow outdoors then. Mine i had both in only a 3x3x63" tent it got above 85f if i had it shut up all vents and windows. Mine were about 6" apart and i don't use pullys i move my pots higher on risers and 4x4 wood blocks plus plastic risers with holes. If i need to move them closer to the lights i put another slab of wood 2x4 4x4 pieces.
I really liked these lights, abit noisey now compared to new ones totally silent don't know there on, awesome LOL. I use fabric an plastic pots 3gal for autos no less than 5gal for photoperiod. Good luck and let us know how they grow. Welcome to the forum:) The photo of the vipars doing there thing ! Those are autoflower strains in the coffee containers.
