It is EcoTech Marine's answer to the two things reefers dislike about a bare multi-channel LED: harsh colour separation on the sand, and hard-edged caustics. It attaches to magnets already built into the G5 and G6 housing, so there are no tools and nothing to unscrew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagnetic, tool-free fitting\u003c\/strong\u003e — mounts to magnets already in the fixture, and lifts straight off again for cleaning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImproved colour mixing\u003c\/strong\u003e — engineered diffuser material with an optimised airspace, which is how EcoTech blends the channels rather than simply frosting the lens.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore uniform caustics\u003c\/strong\u003e — the shimmer becomes softer and more even instead of sharply defined.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimal PAR reduction\u003c\/strong\u003e — EcoTech's stated design goal, so the corals below keep their light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSized per fixture\u003c\/strong\u003e — separate XR15 and XR30 versions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich version do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOption\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFits\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXR15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXR793\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRadion XR15 G5 Pro, XR15 G5 Blue, and XR15 G6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXR30\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXR794\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRadion XR30 G5 Pro, XR30 G5 Blue, and XR30 G6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRadion G5\/G6 Diffuser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart numbers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eXR793 (XR15), XR794 (XR30)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGeneration\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRadion G5 and G6 only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttachment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnetic, to magnets built into the fixture.

If you are running corals at the top of their light tolerance and the margin matters, take a PAR reading before and after fitting the diffuser rather than relying on any published figure.

The G1 to G4 fixtures take a different, three-piece diffuser that installs by removing the lens frame, and the two designs are not interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow much PAR does the diffuser cost me?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEcoTech describes it as a minimal reduction and a small cost to PAR, but publishes no number for it.
