2 blocks, it’s best to spawn proof the whole place with a checker pattern

Anywhere between 14-28 if you don’t want anything spawning

According to official standards and requirements, light poles are generally spaced 2.5 to 3.5 times their mounting height apart

Your post has a light level of 12 at ground. This mean the optimal GRID on flat ground has these every 11th block diagonally in a diamond pattern (baseball field). For every elevation up or down the next post needs to be one block closer.
In a straight line where the sides don’t matter (like a mining tunnel) the posts can be 23 blocks apart.
Of course daylight detectors shouldn’t be used underground.

People are wrong about 14 or 15..
29 should do it.. It’s a 14 block radius, not diameter.

If you want the light to barely reach the other one then see how far the light reaches and put it one block before the light stops.

More than 1 block, less than 100.

Far enough to light up all dark areas to prevent mobs from spawning.

Doesn’t matter. Depends how much light you want.

Wherever it’s more dark
