Do you make one for a Kessil 360 X?

 

[chemisfun11]

Sorry. I do not make a light spill shade for the Kessil 360 X. I am sure one could be made, but with the low profile design and without one on hand it would be difficult to make.

I am not the OP. I don't currently have a design for the reefbreeders aquaknight v2

I can confirm! I have the following shade which is compatible with the Kessil A80 and H80 which share the same housing design.

I print this in PETG so it will be much shinier looking than the render attached. It will look like the Kessil H180 photos @JohnGP posted above.

Could you make a xr15 g5 llight shade in white plastic?

 

[ludnix]

Hi Everyone, I am no longer active here on R2R but you can find these for sale and available for digital download to print yourself on my website. www.eelrivercoral.com

White is available for any model light shades, but email me through the website or chat to let me know that's what you need as it is a fairly uncommon request.

 

[Wolters_88]

Need one for the H380

 

[Aquacrazed]

Can someone post a picture of someone with the XR15 shade installed?

Love mine

Hydra 64 and Prime light shades - photo by @reefer_nyc

I am making this consolidated thread for my 3d printed aquarium light shades as I now offer them for many brands and models of LED aquarium lights.

Why use a light shade?
If you don't have an enclosed canopy and use a modern LED light fixture you probably are already familiar with the light glare you get from their wide angle lenses, especially when viewing the aquarium the seated position. These light shades block that light spill, but don't impede any of the light going down into the aquarium, this prevents any reduction in PAR or diffraction of the light. If the light fixture has active cooling via a fan than I have designed corresponding ventilation holes to allow airflow to continue unimpeded.

The OP for this thread is no longer active on R2R. He has a website. I am active on R2R and have been 3D printing light spill shades for the community. Feel free to contact me and perhaps I can help you out.

Looking for shade for the kessil ap9x. Any plans to make those?

Hi,

I'm not the OP, but I've been printing light spill shades for the community. Unfortunately, the Kessil AP9X dimensions exceed the size of of my 3D printer, so creating a one piece light shade for it is not possible. Additionally, I don't own one and my LFS doesn't carry the Kessil line so it is extremely difficult to design something like this without the ability to test it.

I've been focusing on the Radion line of lights as well as the Neptune Sky. I've printed light spill shades for other brands of LED lights for the community, but the radions and neptune sky are very popular.

So i just received 3 of these shades from Lee for my G5 XR30s. They are great and Lee was great to work with. Very accommodating. Here are some photos of the setup... i still need to buy 1 more light for the center.
