How would you position you lights
 
so just about finished my canopy for my 160 bow front and trying to find the best way to position my lights. Right now i have them setup front to back but would it be better to be left to right? I got them running like in the picture below for now because they had gone a few days without light well i did the finishing touches and need to evenly space them if i do it this way.

Hard to Tell from the picture on my phone but it looks kinda dark. Try hanging left to right and see if it gives better spread. The canopy will have a cover on the front anyways I'm assuming so perfectly even spacing isn't the end of the world. Bow fronts are not the easiest to get even lighting on.

Yeah I had good coverage when I had it hanging with good lighting before the canopycanopy, just want to see what is the best option.

Looks like quite a bit of spillover on the back panel. You could try lowering them and spreading out the units a bit more. What are you using? AI's?

I'd just put the far left and far right one going long ways and keep the two middle ones going short ways. If anything I'd raise them...AI recommends 8-12" off the surface IIRC. Also it looks like you have them mounted flush with a canopy "ceiling" which hinders the fans...or is it open top?
