Radion XR30 G6 Pro Shimmer?

[villious]

Hi all. Getting back into the hobby after 12 years being away. I have a Red Sea 625 G2 five foot tank that is 23.6 inches deep. I'm looking at lighting it with two Radion XR30 G6 Pro's. I'm old school back in the day when metal halide was the go to reef light. I loved the shimmer it put on the tank. Used to remind me of snorkeling in Guam.

My question is, will the Radion XR30 G6 Pro's provide any shimmer in the tank. Also note, that I know surface agitation has a lot to do with shimmer.

Thank so much!
Woody

I believe some as long as you don't use diffusers.

@MtnDewMan and @Johnic use those lights.

The gold standard for LED shimmer are Kessils because they were actually designed to mimic halide.
