need help with grow lights

#MandarinOrange should i move it down? chatgpt says 10-15cm to the plant, but the bulb is very hot and i’m scared that there will be too much light on it. now the distance it 40-45cm. the light bulb is 15w, red/blue spectrum is 5:1, waves: red 650 blue 450. idk what this all means, send help πŸ€’
Whats the weather like where you’re at??
@GhostGirl rainy & cold, unfortunately
@AdeptMoss40 i believe it wont need the light! Just when it’s time to plant it in a pot, you can plant it and theyll do good with the weather they have. Lime trees and mandarins do well where i am and it gets COLD over here. Rain and stuff too.. it should be okay without the light((:
@GhostGirl oh, that’s unexpected.. thanks for sharing, though i think i noticed how light helped it. or idk, might be imagining things. he’s become more vivid green and grown a lil more, previously he stopped for some reason. i don’t really wanna take any chances, so the light remains and i also shrunk the gap to 10-15cm, made sure it’s safe. so far so good XD appreciate your help!
@AdeptMoss40 ofc!! And yes ofc, whatever you think is best fr !! Im really happy to hear it’s grown a bit more too !!!
