Hi Fred
I will second what ceg 4048 and foxfish have advised U.
If so worried about light intensity get the 4 bulb unit and simply disconnect 2 of the bulbs if not able to run them separately in begging while plants grow in. U can wrap tin foil strips on the bulbs if U need to dim them at any point too.
As for your plant list of so called difficult plants.
I have grown hc for about 3 months in small nano with easycarbo and 6w Aquanano led wich is very low light.Was doing ok till I put new led light over it which was considerably brighter and then melted away completely for about a month.
I keep Fissidens and Riccardia in my low techs some of them in complete shade.Still doing good and growing slowly.
Pogostemon and AR mini kept in high tech 72l with 39w pll lamp over them with success as soon as I went up on light55w pll lamp they both struggled and slowly melted away completely .
In almost all of my tanks I have kept the light increase has never done me any good.U really should worry about CO2, flow and distribution along with good fertiliser regime and good tank husbandry .
The rest of your plants on the list havent kept so can comment on them.
