What's up AFN, this is Keith from Black Sail (
www.BlackSailMarket.com). We're a brand new lighting company, and The Cannon is our flagship product!

At full power The Cannon pulls approximately 240 watts at the wall (only 46% of the COB's maximum rated wattage) and maintains an outstanding efficiency of 2.0umol/J.
The core of our 220mm heatsink is cooled by convection current. At full power they sit at about 120 degrees fahrenheit, 100% passively. That's cool enough to hold! We posted temperature/wattage tests on Instagram here:

The Cannon is powered by a MeanWell HLG-240H-C2100A, we spared no expense! Each fixture is independently dimmable down to 50% (~120 Watts).

The Cannon comes with a driver mount on top of the heatsink:

And we hook you up with 6 feet of connector wire so you can run it remotely:

Every Cannon is built by hand, and each step is handled with severe OCD. We solder solid-core tips onto the connector wires, so they're extra clean and the solderless connectors hold onto them with a kung fu death grip:

Thermal pads are fast, convenient, and shitty at distributing heat. Here at Black Sail we only use thermal paste:

Our 3D-printed reflectors are designed to focus the light at the very edges while maintaining the wide spread you need for an even canopy. We print them in two layers, made from temperature resistant Taulman 910 nylon filament:

Here's a side by side comparison of the spread with and without the reflector:
