Hi! According to the manufacturer the recomended brightness is 50% for Germination, 50-75% for Seedling stage, 75-100% in vegetative grow, and 100% in flowering. With this information in hand, I would suggest something between 60-100%, maybe 75% or even 100%. I personally believe that 100% is better than 75% during this period though.

Hi! The seedlings don't need that much light to grow and too much light can easily hurt them. I suggest that you use maybe 50W of power at this point and add more every week. When they are bigger you can use both leds on full power before changing to flowering. Easiest way to determine if the light intensity is enough is to watch how your plant grows. If it stretches too much you need to add more light and if it stays small and nodes starts to stack too tightly you can raise the lights or dim it
