I currently have 2 AI Primes and have been using them at about 40 percent using a version of BRS ab+ on my tank. My tank crashed and I had to reset it the only corals that made it was a leather and 2 mushrooms. I took this time to rescape my tank and chose a different light setting.I chose the Pennywise Deadlight 41%. My question is should I run an acclimation mode or can I just go for it and run them at full. The spectrum is pretty close to the same and the max percent is roughly the same. I also raised my lights by one inch to get better color blend. They are now at 10 inch above my tank.
 
Unless the par drastically changed you should be fine. With a spectrum shift your corals could be irritated so it may make them go a little depressed for a day or two.

Yeah the par didn't change anything crazy it went up maybe 3 percent on an AI prime
