The tip of the umbrella shaft extends past the plane of the diffuser. Normal? Don't want to tent the diffuser. What am I doing wrong?

What kind of light are you using? Did you see you can adjust how far you want the shaft into your light?

This should not be happening. The very construction of softbox prevent that from happening. Make sure all the fiber glass ribs on the inside are attached. Once you attach the diffuser panel you shouldn't be able to tell its an umbrella.

I have an old Ilfuturo model. The end that the diffuser attaches to is just over 1 1/2" and it fit perfectly. It snaps on secure and never comes off. It didn't come with any kind of adapter. I know my model is older than the 3000 series and it fit so I'm guessing it would fit yours. Measure the end. I hope this helps.

I made it fit by putting some masking tape on the inside of the diffuser. It works. I can even take it off and on with no problem

It has a pointed end. Because the umbrella is very light weight, you will need a anchor of some kind to keep it from blowing away.

I'm not 100% positive but I think the umbrella pole might be too thin....it's kind of a narrow rod...truth be known tho this umbrella is more ideal for the pool than the beach. It's nice but the rod seemed kind of flimsy for a constant wind at the beach

This looks like a great shade for my modern style house. I am concerned about the view from the bottom as I want to put this on a very high ceiling and no information provided covers this detail. Is it bare (to the bulb/fixture) or is there some sort of diffuser? If so, is it nice? As to fixture hardware to you suggest the recommended pairing off the website? It looks like the max drop would be 3" for base, 15" for rod, 10" for shade = 28 off the ceiling.

If you don't attach the diffuser, you're basically left with a regular umbrella with silver lining and the light output is nearly the same, except it is a tad more directional in the way that is does not spread as wide, because of the depth of the cowboy.

yes for some reason the air is coming out by the trigger and no air is coming out of the tip, anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

Umbrella post goes through the hole under the socket, is the post on the umbrella too large for the hole???

Hi Jeannine. The top section on the one I received is actually conical. The narrowest part where the umbrella first enters the unit is probably between 2-1/2 and 3 inches. The widest, where it meets the bottom part of the base, is about 4-1/2. Sounds like it may be too large for your table. The product does work very well though.

There is a diffuser screw above the jet. As delivered the jet shoots a long stream of water that wets a large area. As the screw is turned clockwise the stream gets slightly shorter but "fuzzier", spraying a wider jet and placing more water io the inner parts or the pattern. The sprinkler waters within 2-3 inches of its base when the diffuser is set properly. The easiest head to adjust I have ever owned. I also have the 42 series which have 3/4NP threading. Hope this helps.

No, I think that photo is unrelated to this product. Our lights do not have caps on the end of the glass diffuser. It's just open and you stick the lightbulb right in, through the open ends.

I had this happen 1st two times I used it, too! Don't give up, yet. I used a very thin blade knife edge, gently running the tip along the edge of the 'v' in the front of the part where the lid meets the base. You have to sort of jiggle-pull as you pry up with the edge. Be careful and patient. Then, once you get the top off (continue working edge of knife--or file, or sturdy strip of thin plastic), set it to the side. Prep your edge of base before next use. I learnedd this by trial and error; loved the diffuser, and didn't want to send it back, so here is what worked for me: Applied a couple of drops of lemon essential oil (doterra) to a cotton ball, and rubbed this vigorously all over the edges of the base and top of diffuser...where the two pieces meet. It cleans it, and it seems to prevent that suction. I also only use distilled or filtered water. Hope this helps.

Remember, there's cross bars that are only meant to go on the ends, the others snap together, of course those holes are smaller. Just make sure you are not using a crossbar that is meant to go in the middle on the end. The cross bar holes meant to go on the ends, where the wing nuts go are big. Also make sure you are using the right stand meant for the backdrop, not the ones meant for the umbrella lighting.

The blow molded base sits on top to the metal T base that your umbrella fits into. I filled mine with water and also put some bleach into the water to keep the insides from getting nasty. Sorry, but your umbrella did not show up in the request for info. Does not matter the style of umbrella. I have a 9' cantilever umbrella that I use my molded base with. (If you look closely at the picture you will see the edges of the metal T stand sticking out from under, along with the metal pole that holds your umbrella pole.)

I don't think you can extend it. I wish I could have because it didn't go around the whole umbrella we had over our table. But there are different ones you can get other than this that do connect. The longer it is the less pressure. These clog very quick in hard water areas so buy the softener filter to attach it to! Would be worth it, makes it last longer.

I gave up on that little side opening, it never worked right & the EO's did not get diffused. I add my EO's directly into the water, just like all my other brands of diffusers & it works just fine
