Oh hey, I have one of these! I really like it. It's quite a unique design. People (especially where it snows and gets gloomy) should have more lumens, and I'd recommend this lamp for others.

One downside is that the active fan cooling design is questionable - the air goes over the top of the LEDs, and there aren't any dedicated exit holes so the air is just squeezing through the very small gap between the glass and the heatsink. There are also blotches of paint that worsen the TIM contact between the PCB and the heatsink. I used a rotary tool to remove those blotches.

Glad you like it - we're working on improving the airflow right now actually! Thanks for the feedback on the paint.

What is your TIM? Do you have a facing secondary on the interface surface?

What finishing process, thickness, overspray, masking requirements does your drawing package specify?
