Radion diffusers - lower light?

My diffusers came in today. How far do I have to lower the light to maintain the same par?

You would need a par meter to know for sure. What generation of radion? I might be able to do some testing but I have a gen 1 over the tank and a gen 3 waiting to be put over the tank. I do have the diffuser on. I can say that I still get very high par readings after putting the diffuser on so I don't think it's blocking too much.
