Default Basil doesn'f like LED grow lights

Basil seedlings under a 200-watt LED grow light develop distorted

strings of LEDs; different spectra). Only one of the lights I have is
dimmable, which takes us to the next question:
Is there a listing of recommended lux levels for different plants? I'm
guessing hydroponic/greenhouse growers must have something like this,
but I seem to not be asking Gooble the right questions.
TIA

Have you got anything else growing in that compost? I'm wondering if it
has been contaminated with lows levels of a herbicide like aminopyralid.
