Magnetic Glare Control & Light Containment Shade
Manufacturer: MnN Proto-Lab
Document reference: TDS-RXR15-STD-002-REV2
Date: September 2026
1. Product Description
The Radion XR15 Reef Aquarium LED Shade is a model-specific magnetic shade designed to reduce sideways glare and contain lateral light spill from the Radion XR15 fixture. Its geometry follows the fixture contours for a clean integrated appearance and tool-free snap-on installation.
2. Product Variants & SKUs
| Variant | Material | SKU | Primary Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| White | PETG-GF glass-fibre reinforced composite | RXLED15-WHT | Reflects wide-angle light toward the aquarium while preventing noticeable light bleed through the shade walls. |
| Satin Black | PETG-CF carbon-fibre reinforced composite | RXLED15-BLK | Provides non-reflective glare control and visually blends with the black Radion fixture. |
3. Key Features
- XR15-Specific Geometry: Shaped to follow the factory contours of the Radion XR15 fixture.
- Magnetic Installation: Integrated high-strength magnets provide tool-free snap-on fitting and removal.
- Maximum Light Containment: Dense composite construction reduces glare and visible light bleed through the shade walls.
- Marine-Environment Materials: PETG-CF and PETG-GF provide dimensional stability, heat resistance and durability above saltwater aquariums.
- Sealed Magnets: Magnets are completely enclosed within the printed body, isolating them from humid marine air and salt spray.
- Aquarium-Safe Construction: The composite materials are chemically stable and inert for use around reef aquariums.
4. Optical Performance
- White Variant: Redirects light that would otherwise spill into the room back toward the aquarium. This can increase useful light delivery and may allow lower fixture intensity while maintaining the required PAR.
- Black Variant: Blocks lateral glare without using a reflective inner surface. It is intended primarily for glare control and a stealthy integrated appearance.
Actual PAR change depends on mounting height, spectrum, intensity, aquascape, water clarity and measurement position. Measure PAR before and after installation before changing fixture intensity.
5. Compatibility & Installation
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Compatible Fixture | Ecotech Radion XR15 |
| Installation Method | Integrated magnetic snap-on mounting |
| Tools Required | None |
| XR30 Compatibility | Not compatible; use the model-specific XR30 shade |
6. Environmental & Care Information
- Designed for use above marine and reef aquariums.
- Occasional accidental immersion will not harm the shade because the magnets are sealed and the composites are aquarium safe.
- Remove the shade before working around the light to avoid allowing any item to fall into the aquarium unnecessarily.
- Clean with a wet or damp soft cloth, then dry before refitting.
- Remove accumulated salt spray before it forms a hard deposit.
7. Inspection Criteria
Periodically inspect the shade and remove it from service if the printed body becomes cracked, distorted, loose, or exposes any magnetic material.
