It looks lovely like the new growth is getting long or leggy, does this look normal?

Unfortunately, yes, it is normal for new growth to get very leggy or etoliated when it does not get enough light. These plants can require something ridiculous like 8,000fc, or direct sun for 10+ hours a day

Is that usually the highest setting on a grow light?

Depends on the light. I couldn't begin to understand the ins and outs of lumens to foot candles and what that means between a grow light or a fluorescent light
