hello everyone. i’ve been gone for a bit but i’m planning to make a comeback. my thought is to purchase a UNS R120 what keeps me from ordering is the lighting. it will be going in our sitting room so my wife does not like the light spillage. i had ración xr15 gen 4 on my last tank. which i still have in the garage. my wife hated them. i have to admit the spillage does get annoying after awhile. does anyone have any recommendations for keeping spillage under control? it will be mixed reef a few pieces of sps corrals. i’ve seen some ai blades mounted pretty much at tank height. any suggestions or recommendations will be greatly appreciated. added some pictures for reference

Best personal suggestion would be to build a canopy for it. The printed shades are good, but I don't think they would provide enough "directed light" based on what I think you're looking for.

Yea... Otherwise you're going to have some massive shades, which won't be too bad... Might be worth getting a couple of the straight radion 15 shades and seeing if they work?
Worst thing you sell them if they don't.
