Kessil Narrow Reflector and changes to light program when using it.

[pledosophy]

Has anyone here used the narrow reflector they sell for the 360x?

I ordered one, mainly so I could cut the glare from the light while sitting at my desk. I am reading that the reflector can increase the PAR of the light by up to 3x.

If you have used the reflector did you go through the acclimation period on the program, or adjust the intensity of the light down?

I am mostly SPS with some LPS on the sand. More PAR sounds good, but I don't wanna bother the corals with the switch.

Tanks for the help!

I would lower intensity to acclimate the corals it’s now focus light and bouncing off reflectors. Since it’s an aluminum coating with out a over coat on the reflector I’m gonna assume it will get at least 96% light reflecting back. I would run a par meter to see how much it changes.
