Will I need shades? Worried about bright light glare in the living room.

Hello

Still looking for lights for my 30L cube.
One of my concerns is that with the tank in the living room and close to the sofa bright lights will make it uncomfortable.

Most budget options don’t have diffuser it seems and only chihiros have optional shades.
I’m looking at Twinstar and Chihiros in £40-125 range.

I’m willing to pay premium if it’s worth it.
Any suggestions, comments?

Everyone tolerances will be a bit different so it can be difficult to advice but what I would say is if you think you might need shutters, only lights with a shutter option will work for you should you find you need them.
 
Thank you.

Wife just said that she prefers no shimmer effect, so that narrows the options.
I think I’ll go with Chihiros WRGB2. A bit more than I was planning to spend, but it has diffuser, can order shades for it and doesn’t need additional controllers.
