The LEDs on my Royal Blue LED bar with 120 degree lenses could be seen while sitting down across from the tank which my eyes didn't much care for . The cure, a cheap simple shade made from white plastic electrical cable cover which I cut to length and cut out 2 notches at the ends so it clipped into the cap ends of the bar. No glue and no fixings required. Job done.

Before the DIY light shade was fitted.

Now I can view my tank from my fav chair without the blue LED's shinning in my eyes.
