Kessil H380 Reflector

[ShadowR55]

i’m looking for a reflector like those used in professional photography for lighting. It’s called an adjustable barn door. For the life of me, I cannot find a barn door kit that will fit the kessil H380. The reason I want one is that it throws too much light on my skimmer and is causing it to grow coraline and algae like crazy.

@saltyfilmfolks may have some insight for you.

Anyone? I would think a lot more people would find something like this useful, especially if it has a reflective surface.

Are you using 2 in a sump? Wondering if another one will increase my growth.

No one per tank. My new tank my algae in not growing fast but the old one grows like crazy. I am just now starting to dose nitrate and phosphate

Contact kessil. They sell these exact items. I was at the factory a month ago and saw them on their main display.

I eould like something that is adj thought of build a small acrylic skirt to narrow spread

I have the same exact issue. I think this would be something most people with a kessil H series lights would find extremely useful

In the near term, is it possible to lower the array to decrease spread?

The chaeto gets burned when I lower the light.

Just wanted to update this thread. I purchased a 3D printer and printed myself a barn door like I had initially posted. Works great! Although I printed it in Orange as that was the only color filament I had on hand.

I need something like this! I’ve had the same issue with my H380.
