The shield itself does reduce Par but it's not all that much. Not using it is not worth the trouble of having to worry about staining the reflectors and cleaning the inside of the fixture, IMO anyway. Plus, the sockets arent splashproof. I think it's a 10% reduction? Might be less. Someone else should chime in with the correct percentage if I have it wrong.
