A simple 3d printed light shade for the Radion XR30 range of products. This light shade blocks any incidental light escaping the unit and hitting the viewers eyes while maintaining the PAR levels in the aquarium. There is no diffuser to impede the quality or quantity of light coming from the highly sophisticated XR30 LED aquarium light.
3d printed with extreme quality and detail, each shade fits the LED light fixture perfectly with a hardware free design. Easily attached and removed maintenance and cleaning of the light. This fixture is printed on a large format printer to accommodate the large size of the XR30 light fixture.
I should start by saying I hate how the Radion’s look. They look like video game consoles from the 90’s….But they’re a necessary evil as they work really really well.
These covers have the mesh pattern you see with 3D printed items which adds to their appeal vs solid black molded plastic. They’re a satin finish and it almost feels like and looks like carbon fiber.
Took me a sec but they just slide on. I use both the wire hangers and the 6’ RMS mounting system (with an arm on just one side) and these were easy to install. I have high confidence they won’t fall off and if they get in the way removal and reinstalling them is easy.
More importantly, as you walk up the stairs or look at the tank from a seated position, you are no longer blinded. My toddler loves to look at the fish tank and these also help with tiny eyes that have to look up to see Nemo.
Brilliant idea (as most 3D printed items are these days) but the fit and finish on these really makes them exemplarary.
The radion XR30 light shades are awesome! I purchased two, and will soon be purchasing another as I'm upgrading my setup. Super light. Easy to snap on. Solid product!
