You won't loose much light at all. Here's my tank with egg crate covering it with the same light set up that you have. I still need to trim one of the pieces so it sits flush with the lip of the tank.

ive used eggcrate too and it hasnt affected anything negatively as far as i could tell. right now i am using acrylic to keep splash off my bulbs and things are doing fine too as long as i keep it clean.
