@Rahz I want to buy pre built fixtures only I don't have time to build only hang and plugin are the 210w gonna be pre built fixtures like the red ones on your site and what's the price on them
TastyLED new product and price drops

The 210w output lamps will be open frame with a small enclosure for electrical connections, 3 70w emitters at 1 ft spacing in a row. They will have a similar style to the picture I posted a few posts back.
I don't have an exact number yet but price will be around the same as the T22 at $360.

Here's the new T1, model number T1P, everything but the hangers.
Based on Vero29B and using less than 85 watts it produces 36-38 PAR watts depending on spectrum. It's powered with a Meanwell HLG driver and should provide years of maintenance free operation. 10ft power cord and 150mm splayed pin heat sink for ease of use and efficient thermal dissipation. Attractive red powder coating.
Loop lanyard hanging system requires only 2 rope ratchets (included with lamp).
I'll be building 10 of these along with 10 T3s (Vero29C based) over the next week or so. After that a batch of passive T22s. Beyond that I'm playing around with doing some T2s and T4s, so ending up with 5 models after all. The T2,3 and 4 will all run just over 50% efficient output while the T22P will run 56-58% efficient same as the fan cooled T22s. Unsure at this point on whether I will build T32s.
Anyway, I still need to work out packaging so it will be a few days before the T1s and T3s show up on the website.
Edit: also want to mention that the T1P will not be dimmable for now but the other lamps will all be 100-10% dimming capable.

Also in other news, I'm out of the DIY game. It's more than I want to deal with at this point in time but while most of the components are off the website the HLG drivers I won't be using are still available. I'll clear up that section of the website soon and will be adding a few more drivers along with some extruded heat sinks I mentioned earlier in this thread.

I'm sure they'd do just fine in a 4x4 too, wouldn't they?

You’d want 3 of those for a 4x4

Possibly, depending on one's goals. For those not trying to max out their yields I'm sure 2 would do nicely.

I wouldn’t flower with 26 watts per square foot. I’d rather maximize the potential with 40

And that's entirely up to you.
That said, I'm seeing people here on RIU getting excellent results with only 22W/ft² of high quality COB LED, so don't discount the idea just because it isn't the max yield approach.
I wouldn't suggest it at all if @Rahz took shortcuts and compromised efficiency. Since he doesn't, this is a strategy that will work very well for growers who don't need or want a max effort setup.

Fair enough. To each their own as they say

2 T3s in a 4x4 would be around 700 PPFD. 3 would hit a bit over 1000 PPFD. 2 T4s is the stock option for a 4x4 with PPFD just under 1000. The new ones will be one less emitter than 3x T3s but the footprint will be more consistent over a 4x4. That extra bit of power might give the T3s the edge though, not sure how that would pan out.

I did quite well with my last one at about 250W in 2x4 - right around 31W/ft²

I ran the one cycle like that (22w) and found it took too long to finish, although it had no effect on yield. Normally running at ~30w/sq./ft. and more than happy with that, puling out 42-46" plants with barely any popcorn on them.

Do you top at all?
I'm used to having shorter, bushier plants.
Which diodes do you use, what Kelvin rating are they?

Don't do any topping or FIM, super-crop for clones if I want to manage height or shape them. When I'm hunting from seed I like to see the natural structure and usually leave them alone. The 3rd one was super-cropped from seed, 1st two were straight up from seed.
I have a mix in there, 600w of various Tasty bars using Cree 3500k/80cri @1400ma, and 200w of Citi 1212/90cri @1400ma covering up to 3.5 x 8'. I run perpetuals 2-4 weeks apart and really like the multiple bar format as I can dial it up or down depending on what I have flowering and run multiple canopy heights when/if needed.

I built a fixture, with TastyLED light engines and a TastyLED frame.
It is just like the T3, but shorter and it has one 4000K Vero with two 3000K Veros and a driver for each colour group.
I'm hoping this will give me the best of both worlds; enough blue to transition to flower, enough red to put on weight, then a mix of blue and red to finish.
210W with about 2100 PPFD.
