Focal Reducer Question

Can a focal reducer be used on an Meade LXD55 6" Schmidt-Newtonian Reflector? From what I can see, the 6.3 and the 3.3 focal reducer is to be used on Schmidt-Cassagrains.

I was desiring the pair to be used with the Meade LPI.

They reduce the focal lengths ... correct? The shorter the length, the less magnification from the LPI ... correct?

All in all, can I use the reducers?

Thanks, Larry
