Also, should I put my plants back into veg while I sort this?

That'll cause more hassle than it's worth IMO. Just carry on until you get the new unit

Pick you up any of the 5W/10W double chips 1200W, You can get these in noname, or with a name, but don't thank there is any difference but the price. These lights equal to about 450W to 500W HPS. If you want the most advance on the market, check out the (Geyapex) over on google. JMO

Very very simple.
Ignore the numbers in the model, it can be named Mars 900W, or Mars 900000W, it's one big bullshit, it's completely meaningless.
Looks for real power consumption.
For example, in the picture you attached it says: power consumption 210-225w.
That's the only number that matters.

From these real watts, as a general rule of thumb
0.8-1.2 grams per watt.
So if you use this 210w-225w led, you will get a total yield of 168-252 grams, depending on your skill, your other conditions and your strain.
It doesn't matter if you grow 1 plant, 2 plants, or 4 plants.
