Ai Prime 16 HD Reef Aquarium Led Light Shade and Diffuser

This is a must have for your AI Prime16 HD. First if fits perfectly, snaps right on. Has a cutout in the back to line up with the ball hinge. The lens is plastic and just a drop in, kinda loose fitting inside, but not an issue at all. Work perfectly in helping reduce that disco ball effect you get with LEDs. Really blends the light together. Also helps with reducing the light bleed from your tank when the light is mounted at maximum height. Best of all you can now lower your light alittle and power up your LEDs because this dose slightly reduce the maximum par and help makes a better PAR average around your tank.Probably the cheapest and most effective upgrade for your tank.

This shade fits perfectly on the Prime 16. Does a great job at reducing light spill from above the tank. The included diffuser helps to blend the colors together. Looks clean and high quality. 10/10 recommend this one!

I really love this. Despite the diffuser not working for me the shade did its job perfectly.My only beef with the diffuser is that, bc it is set at the very bottom of the shade, instead of further up into the shade, it diffuses the light right into your eyes, if you sit below it. It's like the shade isn't even on.However, if you do not have your tank in your bedroom, this may not be a problem for you.I took the diffuser off, and found that then, the light was not in my eyes anymore.I added a DIY clear corrugated greenhouse plastic lid to my tank, which ended up diffusing the light.A bit pricy just for a shade, but as far as I can tell, no one else is making these, so it was worth it in the end, for me.

Used this for lights on my African cichlid tank. It fit snug on the older ai prime freshwater lights just fine. Built well and look good. I bought this to help with the disco ball effect I was getting on the sand and it helped a lot. I can’t see it unless I look very closely.

Amazing quality! I was hesitant to order considering it is 3D Printed. I hate the layers on 3D Printed parts. With this shade you cannot see the layers at all! If you look close yes but the plastic looks perfect , almost like it’s molded. I will be looking into more of their products since the quality is well beyond what I was expecting.

You should not keep your expectations too high. Shape and design is good. But diffuser glass is absorbing the light a little. Slightly weaker light. Weak packaging. Good quality

Have been using AI primes.over nano tanks for the better part of 8 or so years. A good diffuser to blend the separate channels has always been something that AI has missed on. This is the perfect thing to blow some money on.I was hesitant to buy a printed because I already have a printer and tons of filament. However, Unless your printer is really set up, prints aren't attractive.These aren't hobby grade printers. Dude knows what he is doing. Layer lines are minimal. Fitment is tight, yet installs easy.The diffuser lens choice is fantastic. It blends the channels seamlessly without sacrificing too much PAR. SPS on my sand bed and in the corner have sat under my Primehd, alive but not growing for almost 2 years and appx 100 par immediately colored up and noticeable growth has begun.Without changing any settings on the light, my hot spots are cooled out a bit and cool spots are hotter now. Par fluctuation was 280-40 with the hd using BRS AB+ now it's 250-160.This is a great buy. Easier to buy it than it was to model and print myself.

Works great right out of the box. Helps keep light spillage down on my 14 gallon that’s near my desk.
