Posts 2 & 4 are on point, the amount of light needed depends on the size of the area. Something like 50 watts per square foot for blurple and 30-35 for modern white LED or white with reds.
Pocket-friendly 1000W lights ?

You might be able to buy just the light bars for that money then some day make a diy with a driver...

Your "600 watt" lights are more than likely 60 watts actual from wall. Your looking for a true 150-200 watt light from wall. Take a look at bestva I have a bestva 1000 it's 110watts and I've grown some nice plants with it. Get 2 of those for around $150 and you'll be better off than using what you have now. I stay away from cheaper mars hydro products I've seen to many burnt up wires and fire issues with them. Even the viparspectra 1000s are good. 2000s as well.

Look up bestva bp2000 those are decent cheap lights. Good dimming good full spectrum decent quality diodes. Last for years I've had my bestva 1000 for years now still use it for my seedling light.
