How high should lights be?

[mark]

I had sent a note to PFO about height of their pendants above water and cable length for my 2-250W.

The recommended distance is around 5". This is primairly due to light distribution. It would be best that water did not splash on hood.
the housin gets extremely hot. Mount via spacers between wood canopy and light. The fixture comes with 8' cord to ballast. There is an 8' extension cord that can be purchased to lengthen the distance to 16'. It is best though to not extend the cords if possible. Lamp firing gets more difficult as the length from lamp to ballast increases.
