Two lights

I read the article re: what to do in case of a power outage and it got me thinking about my light. What if it dies mid-cycle, etc., etc. So, I bought a second light. BTW, it's a Galaxyhydro 300W LED, working on 2 White Widow in a 3x3x6 tent. Aside from me turning one of them into a Frankenstein experiment in LST'ing, they are both "thriving" under this one light , IMO.
So now I have a second light, just in case, and I'm thinking why not use the second in the tent and focus one light on each plant? Mo' better, right? (No?) Of course, if I do that, I won't have a backup light. Oh yeah, these are the two plants that I mentioned in another post that are growing at different rates, which led me to think the 2 light setup might be beneficial.

What to do!?
 
I went to a two light setup about two months ago-
The light I use as "back-up" (UFO LED 150w)(more red) is a suitable for either my veg or flower tent as it's 1/2 the power of my main flower light. (MarsHydro 300w)
While it is a back up for both tents- it may as well be on where it will do the most good= in the flower tent.
My veg tent has the similar UFO LED 150w (more blue) and an additional CFL. (6500k)
That way, when my plants are growing and double in size- in the Flower tent, the amount of light is increased and more red light is added, too!

As I always say- this is all BS until I can smoke it! LOL
 
Thanks for the feedback, y'all. The rotation idea is the plan after I get this first grow under my belt and in the bowl. If I can pull it off, the 8 week rotation would work for me at a one-plant-at-a-time pace and tent space would be less of an issue. I got a little ambitious and started two seeds to get a decent yield knowing space might get tight. By the looks of it, yeah, it's gonna get ugly but, wth.
Thanks again. I'll be hanging that second light shortly.
