What did you use to replace the diffusion cloth on this ring light?

You could always use the filter gels or translucent material light the white umbrella type.

Since it didn't come with a diffusion cloth, I rigged it by pinning parchment paper around it! Lol. It's not the most professional but it works perfectly and no one sees it but me!

[ used industrial strength velcro. you don't need a very big piece and when it is time to change the bulb, walah, remove light and proceed

I replaced the whole fixture with new one. Very easy to do.. the old post are a bit different but it can be rigged. Very happy with my new Malibu and bough extras. They are very inexpensive and a good quality.

If you are talking about the O ring that is in the fixture, you may have to use a jewelry or optical screw driver to remove the O ring. As it relates to the filter itself, there are no consumer repairs possible, and a new filter has to be used.

Make sure the switch is set to on. Then glide the ring across the light cover. It should slowly fade on and stay on for about 20 seconds and then fade out again. It's all triggered with the ring which sometimes needs to be glided across the light area, gently touching it the whole way. If it still doesn't work, might need to ask for a refund

Use pex type rings found at any major hardware store. I prefer to use copper, but there are other composites out there too. Make sure you look for the PEX

Use lithium. I used alkaline and they leaked and consequently got jammed inside by the alkaline salts, ruining the light. I checked online, and this does not appear to be an uncommon occurrence.

I used exposed loom. There are holes beneath the light tab in the rear but I was not able to and it work.

You can get smaller diameter rubber o-rings at homedepot/lowes. The foam they use on the base of this light is slippery, I put a piece of old inner tube on the bottom of it, glued in place, and with the supplied o-rings it stays in place better. You could probably cut a ring of inner tube to hold it in place as well.

I don't know if you can buy replacement cloths for this but you may want to check the Norpro website and/or ask them. Don't know if it fits the old Foley frames either but I do have two of those and they look identical. I'd check for you but unfortunately the Norpro is where I am now and the Foleys are at my other home in S. Florida so can't compare. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

At the bottom of the clear plastic tube there is a stepped, white adapter ring with two sections, each about one inch wide. Into this adapter ring is screwed the bottom assembly, which contains the flapper valve and the vacuum inlet (v shaped inlet, just like on a house vacuum cleaner). The bottom assembly is screwed in with a quarter turn in the clockwise direction, just like a light bulb or a screw. I think you are trying to loosen the part that is glued to the clear tube. Let me know if this helps, if not I can send you a picture that I just took.

The grommet is made of a soft rubber, which holds the light in the hole you cut to fit the light. It is a friction fit, but holds very well if the proper size hole is cut. I cut slightly undersized, then ground the hole slightly larger to get the tight fit I wanted. This also prevents you cutting the hole to big, which will give a loose fit.

hi , the boxwave came with a soft cloth and two cleaning wipes. i have not checked to see i can get replacment yet but think you would be able to buy it from amazon also i think the eye glass cleaner pads would work just as well

I have found that when I have had difficultly removing something that uses the threads on a lens or other filter on the lens, wrap your hand around the end of the lens for several minutes and use the heat from your hand to expand the lens or protective filter. Then try to unscrew the adapter from the lens. I have used this technique to remove my polarizer several times when it has been difficult to remove. Remember that the threads on the adapter are plastic and very fine and can be crossed easily. The adapter does not need to be tight to hold the weight of the light ring. Good luck and enjoy the macro world. It is amazing what you can see.

I also have a WF-502B and that is a matt finish. The WF-501B is very similar but seems a bit cheaper or thinner and it is glossy. Still a good flash light body. The reflector is also slightly different, it is a orange peel finish rather than smooth, but provides a very good light pattern for the bulb used.

Make sure you didn't get so much grease on that the two parts no longer make electrical contact. Try wiping the grease off the threads and the end of the part with the light so it makes a good contact.

Sorry, I didn't do that on mine, needed the headlamps replaced since both lamps were fogged out by UV rays from the sun, perfect for my use. I'll look into it for adjustments.
