Radion XR30 PAR-Max Reef Aquarium LED Shade — Technical Data Sheet

Dual-Layer Magnetic Reflective Shade

Manufacturer: MnN Proto-Lab
Document reference: TDS-RXR30-PM-002-REV2
SKU: PAR-M-LED30-WHT
Date: September 2026

1. Product Description

The Radion XR30 PAR-Max Reef Aquarium LED Shade is a model-specific dual-layer magnetic shade designed to reduce room-facing glare while redirecting wide-angle light toward the aquarium. It combines a satin black exterior with a reflective white interior and follows the larger XR30 fixture contours for tool-free snap-on installation.

2. Construction

Layer Material Function
Exterior Satin black PETG-CF carbon-fibre reinforced composite Non-reflective glare control, structural rigidity and an integrated appearance with the fixture.
Interior Reflective white PETG-GF glass-fibre reinforced composite Redirects wide-angle light toward the aquarium and contains visible light bleed through the shade walls.

High-strength magnets are completely enclosed within the printed body, isolating them from humid marine air and salt spray.

3. Key Features

  • XR30-Specific Geometry: Shaped for the Ecotech Radion XR30 fixture.
  • Dual-Layer Optical Design: Black outer glare control with a reflective white inner surface.
  • Magnetic Installation: Tool-free snap-on fitting and removal.
  • Marine-Environment Materials: PETG-CF and PETG-GF provide dimensional stability, heat resistance and durability above saltwater aquariums.
  • Sealed Magnets: Magnetic material is fully isolated within the printed structure.
  • Aquarium-Safe Construction: Chemically stable and inert composites suited to use around reef aquariums.

4. Published PAR Test Results

Published testing recorded an approximate 10% average PAR increase with the PAR-Max shade installed.

Measurement Depth Without Shade With PAR-Max Shade Change
25 cm 1198 1351 +153
40 cm 443 498 +55
60 cm 266 274 +8

Test values are reference results rather than a guaranteed outcome. Actual PAR depends on mounting height, spectrum, intensity, aquascape, water clarity and measurement position. Measure PAR in the installed aquarium before changing fixture intensity.

5. Compatibility & Installation

Parameter Specification
Compatible Fixture Ecotech Radion XR30
Installation Method Integrated magnetic snap-on mounting
Tools Required None
XR15 Compatibility Not compatible; use the model-specific XR15 PAR-Max 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.
  • Avoid abrasive pads that may mark the reflective inner layer or satin black exterior.

7. Inspection Criteria

Periodically inspect the shade and remove it from service if the printed body becomes cracked, distorted, loose, delaminated, or exposes any magnetic material.

8. Revision Summary

REV2: Added the live product SKU. Existing construction, PAR-test, compatibility, environmental, and care specifications remain unchanged.
