The herpstat 1 can handle up to 700 watts I believe. So I'm good on that part. And good thing about the herpstat 1 is that if there is a failure, the herpstat shuts off immediately

It also shuts off if the probe comes undone from the tape and the tape tries to heat up too quickly, the herpstat detects that and shuts off.
