Does this affect the spread or par? I recently swapped my ReeFi Unos for XR15s and one of the cons with the Radions is how bright the light is when sitting on the couch, the Uno LEDs were kinda recessed so the light wasn’t visible from the sides.

There is a small amount of spread loss, but mostly excess light outside of the tank. I have reports of a 5-7% increase in par from the shades directing more light into the tank. If you want to increase par more an easy mod is applying aluminum tape inside the shade. This is what I hear from my customers. Hope this helps

I have 3x XR15 G5 on my RedSea 300xl. What is the closest distance between the lights if I have three set up next to each other? Also like to account for taking them off occasionally to work inside the tank?

Mine are BRS spaced for optimal spread. Lee has my dimensions below:

Ah! This is what I have was looking for. I am setting up a redsea 425XL and sitting at the desk the lights will probably blind me :) this is a good solution. Do you ship to Canada?
Cheers.

I pulled the trigger on a set of shades from lee and I couldn’t be happier. The tank is in the living room and you would always see the reflection of the lights on the tv before I had the shades. It has eliminated the strong reflection of the lights on the tv. Also sitting a few feet away from the tank there is no light spill that can cause headaches to some people. I run my radions at 70% and still have an even spread of 500 to 250 par at all areas of my tank. In the middle of the tank where you would expect the shades to reduce the par, it did not and is still the hotspot in my tank. Highly recommend!

I'd like to get 2 of these and shipped to Canada. Can you email me at [email protected] and we can figure it out Radion XR15w G5 Blue. Looking for 2 of these both the same, black.
