If you decide you need more units the original light is still there until the other unit arrives and swap out then.
Oh, absolutely. I currently have a canopy that can just lift off. It will go to the side until I'm sure the new lights can maintain color. If not, they go back on until I can buy more units.

But I'll try to run closer to 80%+ on the whites to try and keep intensity while raising high enough to keep coverage.
