To convert distance from lamp to light intensity, use the formula 1/d2, this follows the inverse square law where you double the distance, the light intensity decreases by 1/4 , At low light intensity the rate is slow because there is not enough energy for efficient photosynthesis, at this point, higher light intensities are not increasing the rate of reaction, carbon dioxide or temperature is now a limiting factor.
