First time with a grow light. Tomatoes have sprouted but some look dead (burnt?). Is my light too low? How high should it be? I’ve been running it for 12 hours daily.

It looks like they just have the seed husk still stuck on. That happens pretty often. They usually shed them on their own. But if they don't you can try using an eye dropper to wet the seed husk to make it more pliable. Give it about 5 - 10 minutes to absorb the water and then you can try manually removing them. You'll have to be very gentle otherwise you may break the seedling at the stem.
