2-6" should be fine
2-6" should be fine
terpene has said he kept his really close.
blynx has had some in flower about 3 inches away in most of his grows.
brucebanner has his 6 inches away with no ill effects.
there's a certain distance where the light penetrates the canopy the for maximum efficiency. terpene and blynx (in the original posts)explain it a lot better than i can.

add a fan
i run 10w's 2inches
i run 10w's 2inches
The box looks great!
I do agree with panicmode that there may be more light in that amount of space than you need.
That box is only 1.07 sq/ft. From what I've been seeing, I think you'd be better off running 40w or 50w in that box. Not saying 80w won't work, but I think the yield from 40w or 50w will be similar to the yield from 80w.

Thanks Blynx! fo
Now i got PCfan 120mm 12V 0.2A. If need be i can put there another one. But still, temperature does not exceed 26 degrees. Mayby this plant wrong respond to the change of light.
Before i use bigger one 180m3/h extractor fan but it is too loud, for convenience, the task is to keep it in silence.
and input hole with simply lighttrap
Tomorrow courier comes with seeds. Shop have some a problem with them. It's a reason to wait so long.
Thanks Blynx for answer!
And one about light amount. Will be there some sort of "unfavorable difference" if i stay with 80w? Bill for electricity is not a problem. I look only for the health of plants.
**English is not my native languace, but i do my best. I hope everyone understand what I wanted to write;p

adding more light doesnt just add yield, its more about unlocking the plants full potential, a happy plant makes us happier too
I used a calculator to count how many lumens i need for this area.
Min: 3030 Lumenów
middling: 4040 Lumenów
Optimal: 5050 Lumenów
now i got ~ 6400. Its "only" 25% more than calculation said. We will see, if something goes wrong, then i will remove 2or 3 light bulb. but whats can goes wrong?
Before i used hps 150W on 0.16m2. lamp have 18k lumens, for this area i needed ~8k. Plants grows very well.

you could have:
bleaching, turning white/pink
burns, heatstress, dried leaves/curled
dying off trichomes, they turn opaque and shrivel up, once is was testing 80+/sq slammed on the plant and it was MELTING the trichomes, it was a glue like layer over the plant, but thats the extreme side and you wont get to those stages if you keep the plant happy, i was just pushing it just to push it

with temperatures, which are now I think that it will not happen. I hope at least;p At any time, I can still mount the next two windmills on the 12V DC power supply.
While waiting for seedling i make some fixup with cables albo mixing fan. And by using the occasion the TNTkush is not ready yet, i use box to marjoram sprouts
Later I will compare flowerpot from the box, and from the window sill
Some pics
And temporary light trap

All very nice. Just for reference, basil cuttings root wonderfully. I took a dozen a couple weeks ago, put them in my Walmart wick cloner and they all rooted in no time.
Thanks Gardener
update. Day 2 after went out of soil.
So nothing special at this moment.
Sapling went out, grows 7cm (led - leaves) from the lamp.
Parsley feels good too, but its goes a little slowly.
the only thing that worries me a little is purple stem and spots on the leaves in purple too.
