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.
