If you’re showing zero ammonia and zero nitrites, the cycle is over. BUT, add things slowly so the bacteria can build up to accommodate the new additions.
Regarding the light, I’m currently running a 40 breeder and I have a 175 watt metal halide (old school) and 30 watt actinic light bar. So, a total of 205 watts for 40 gallons.
Keep in mind, most LEDs can be dialed down. So, you can adjust the intensity. I’m no expert on LEDs since I go MH but, maybe @Reefing102 can give some input.
