How do you get the hood to fit snugly around the light? It seems like the hole is way too big and the velcro doesn't adjust the size of the opening.

Once the metal rods are inserted in to both the lighting fixture and the hood, the fixture will be pushed "held" in to place. I adjusted the velcro first when I started, then again once the rods were in place. Hopes this helps.

The hood comes inside out, so flip it the other way.. it doesnt fit overly snug, but it will close all of the gaps...

Hi. Looking at the close-ups on Amazon of your camera I can not see if there are any threads to hold the hood in place. Are there threads on the inside lip of your camera?

It has been quite a while since I opened mine. It seems to me that there is a place on the bottom of the light that you push in and the light opens at the seam. I don't think it should be that hard to get into. I do know that the light doesn't really work very well at night. I only bought it because it looks cool on my bike!

I have an old hood light fixture that I got years ago when I got my first Beardie. There is no maker's mark on it. It looks like Reptisun. But it is a hood type fixture that sits on top of the wire tank lid. Any correct size fixture should do. You can check them out at a pet store just to be sure and then come back to Amazon for the best price:)

Turn the locking handle 1 Turn at a time clockwise and latch it in tell it is snug, do not over tighten! If that wont work send it in, They will fix the problem....

I've had the same problem. The thing is designed to allow the cover to be pulled down part way to change a bulb. If you pull the 'wings' all the way out, it's awkward to get them back... you kind of need three hands (or more - if you need a flashlight). You need to pinch the wing rods completely together - and then push them into one slot in the middle of each side of the inside top of the box - while you're trying to hold the rest up - that's why it's tough. Once you get them started into the small slots, you can just push the cover up from the outside. The wings will expand after you push the cover up, holding it in place... good luck.

somewhere around the perimeter on the top. put as close as you can to the edge ,otherwise there will not be enough clearance for the light to fit properly

I checked my daughters light and I didn't see anything to tighten. I assume that maybe one of the little round circles on the side of the base might pop off and that maybe you could then get to a screw to tighten. I didn't want to pop anything off on hers in case I'm wrong and it couldn't be put back on. Her mirror is still really tight where it just stays wherever it is placed. Could you fold a small piece of paper and put between the outer ring and the mirror itself and wedge it in such a way that it will stay put where you want it? Sorry I couldn't be of any more help than that.

i had to adjust by unscrewing the reflector / bulb module to adjust length for some types of batteries. there are lots of fine threads on that end. hope this helps.

I tried to do the same thing. Even though it is a semicircle like my other one, they were slightly different sizes. I able to make it fit but had to use a lot of pressure. You might want to try a local place so you can quickly return and try another if need be.

Threads are not well-done on this hood. The thread base is supposed to stay on the lens, the hood then screws on the base either way.

hi Micheal, I actually returned this item because i thought it was the complete fixture. I bought a different light else wear. I believe on this type of light it just snappes into place. i hope this is helpful.

In my bag the hood, when not used, collapses onto the inside of the bag where it is attached by velcro. Hope this helps.

I bought a tulip lens hood for mine and it doesn't fit correctly. It screws on, but not matter how I try to put it on, it doesn't line up with the lens unless I leave it loose. So it's going back and I'll be buying the rubber collapsible one! Panasonic, you need to make a lens hood for this camera!

You need to screw the adapter ring which comes with it, and then slip on the hood. In my experience, the hood bayonet engagement came in tight, so I gave it some muscle and it slid in.

From the picture and description I saw it doesn't appear that it has anywhere to fit, nor the necessity to do so with lighting options provided with this tank. The hood would be sitting up on the shell of this light system most likely. Any plastic can be cut though, and I'm sure you could rig this up to use one of these lights. I personally don't see the advantage on a setup like this however.

well my hood will not take a cheater lens. 2x4 is too big and thick. I guess I could glue one on but not convenient to clean that way.
