The distance from the top of the plant to the bulb should be between 12-18 inches this is ideal for a 400 watt HPS. The higher the wattage the higher away from the canopy the lower the wattage the closer it should be some people use fluorescent tubes these can go as close as 1-2 inches away from the tops of the plants. Lights that aren't at the right distance may either burn your plants or just make them hug the ceiling.
