how is the metal reflector attached to the plastic lens ? All I need is the lens.

I had the same problem. The lens has an expanded upper edge. It is pressure fit into the aluminum metal. Since aluminum is somewhat flexible you can probable make the lens snap in. However the whole thing is attached with two and was easy to replace.

It is all one piece.The lens is pressed to the reflector and does not come off. I have never seen the 2 pieces sold separately.

Remove bulb, then the screws attached to the remaining part of the lens, attach the new one with the old screws.

It's about 15 feet up in the air right now, so I couldn't say, but I think you would be able to separate the two. Although, it might be easier to replace the whole thing.

It isn't worth trying to take the lens off the metal. I only needed the lens too, but the whole thing changes with two screws. Just take the bulb out, take the two screws lose or out and put the new lens in place and put the screws back in, put the bulb back in and your done.

Mine had the little metal ring to attach to my phone and then my different lens just went on. Mine did not have 4 pieces. What kind of pieces does it have ?

Your lens goes onto the tube with the metal face ring on it. To release your lens, simply push the silver knob towards the back of the tube. It releases a small pin that locks your lens onto the extension tube/s. Don't unscrew the knob, because it is what actuates the pin! Always read the instructions before assembling anything to avoid breaking them.

There's kind of a notch on the back, right below where the triangle is pointing to. In that notch is a silver tab. That tab has to be pressed down, or moved to the side. That will lift the tiny metal cylinder that locks into the lens and holds the adapter into the lens. I have a few different types of adapters, and they're all a little tricky to get off. But once you understand the concept of lifting that tiny cylinder up, it's not too hard to figure out how to remove them.

If not mounted in a can then you must remove the plastic lens. Use a old credit card. There are screws underneath that hold ring in.

I used silicone sealant. You can pick up a tube of it at any hardware store. First I cut out a hole to make room for the solenoid, then I ran a bead around the gap between the shroud and the lens. Next I flattened the bead with my finger. Make sure you don't get any sealant on the lens itself or on the reflector.

The metal reflector that holds the light bulb holds the plastic surround up with a cap nut on a threaded bolt. The plastic light cover just clips into the surround with clips that are built into the cover.

I also needed just the refractor, but couldn't find one anywhere. So, I bought this refractor with the reflector attached and it worked out fine. It was easy to put on. Your old reflector comes off with a couple of screws. This reflector/refractor should line up with the holes in your light. If not, you can drill holes in this reflector to match your holes. The refractor is attached permanently to the reflector. It's been a while since I put the new one on, but I,m pretty sure the top diameter of the reflector was about 5". Thats the measurement you need to be concerned with. This should fit your light Brian, and a simple job. I also needed just the refractor, but couldn't find one anywhere.

You have to glue the lens, it doesn't snap into place. However, if you're replacing the whole unit, the lens shouldn't be an issue.

The plastic lens has to be removed by inserting a flat blade screwdriver between the grill and lens and the lens will come out. Insert bulbs and snap lens back in. Should ne easy. If installing new, insert bulbs before finally installing lens.

The lens has a metal plate with screw holes for mounting on a tripod. I have a couple of quick-release lens mounts that came with my tripod. I screwed one on this lens and leave it there, that way I can attach and detach the lens from the tripod without having to take the time to screw it on. It works great. You should have no problem mounting this lens to your tripod.

the adapter ring has a thin strip of plastic that reveals a glue surface that permanently attaches to your camer. the ring contains a thread into which you screw the filters etc. for my purposes, the filters and lens hood seemed to obstruct the lens at wide angle depts and i was not crazy about the permanent gluing of the adapter ring to the lens, so i removed the equipment and have not used it.

it is a little metal part, but seems to me that this part is attached to the plastic cage of the camera. not to robust though... SEEMS TO ME...

A very thin, low profile metal ring is adhered to the surface on the front of the lens. The filter magnetically attaches to that ring. The ring is very small and not even noticeable. The magnetic attachment is strong, but allows for easy rotation of the filter. I've had the filter attached for hours without realizing it, it's that non-invasive. Everything you need comes in the package, no tools or adhesive required. It's a brilliant design and it works perfectly. Highly recommended.

It is just a plastic hood,I think a lens glass can still fit under it as the threads are still clear with the hood on the lens

Yes, you have to use the correct metal ring, included in the kit, for the lens to connect properly.
