Twin star prism rainbows 🌈

[Bigsilky]

Hi folks,

Anyone have experience with twin star s v4 range of lights?

My 450s casts off very intense rainbow prisms all over the living room, which does my mrs head in…

I’m guessing it’s the light hitting the rim of the tank. Would hanging it and adding some distance from the tank stop the intense prisms?

Cheers 🍻

Could try some shades (not sunglasses).

It looks very cool. I always think of it as an added bonus. Sorry doesn't help your wife's head though.
Is it possible to move the tank to a place where the prism effect will be less distracting?

Try either swapping the clear plastic light lens for an opaque piece of plastic to act as a diffusor, or try adding some tape (masking tape perhaps) to the top rim of the glass?

Have you considered asking your wife to sit in a different room?

How would that work? What would you use?

Yeah I don’t mind it, but she’s ADHD and I think it’s a sensory overload issue. Or alternatively it’s just a PITA issue 😂. I think she just needs to get used to it.

Hmmmmm, masking tape might look a bit ugly but something else could work to diffuse it. I’ll have a think. Cheers

It shouldn't do if it's just stuck to the top edge of the glass only - you can use a sharp craft knife or scalpel to trim it tight to the edge.

Twinstar 900s shade/reflector?

Hey people, i was wondering if anyone knows of any shades/reflectors i can use on my twinstar 900SA? Would like the reflecting capabilities to increase and concentrate light spread, also shading from light bleed would be nice. Had a look online, seems chihiros do one for the wrgb? But can't find...
