Honored Contributor50MHz LED is too fast for human vision. you need a counter on 50MHz to generate a ON/OFF switch (call it enable) for some time (e.g. .5 sec ON, .5 OFF). use module 2 counter (2^27 will then overflow in about 2.7 sec, 2^27/50M), you can then use any siutable counetr MSB as LED switch.
Just curiosity: 2^100 on your clock will overflow in 8 years. 2^200 in many many trillions years
