that's a heavy duty LED light. 650W is powerful. I think that the 12" hang height has something to do with how the spread of light is emitted from the lamp itself. eg 100% at 50" is less even in the canopy then 40% at 12" if you where to look at it in a PPFD map layout. I use a 300W led setup and I hang them aorund 12-18" but they are 100% on all the time no dimmer and they are not as efficient as your light.. so 650W at 40-50% at 13" does not seem to far off to me. and I would continue going with that. Can always bounce it up 5% and see how the plants react. The hand test is a good option. place you hand where the canopy is and if it feels to hot on your hand its to hot for the plants, warm is perfect. Good Luck! === Seems I have a fake troll account trying to cause shit by emulating me. They even went as far as to copy my profile picture and response to there troll lol.
