FAQs
Can I use this diffuser on a different brand of softbox?
No, this product is specifically designed for the geometry and attachment system of the Broncolor 100cm x 100cm softbox.
Does this replace both the internal and external diffusers?
No, this is specifically the external diffuser component.
How do I remove wrinkles from the fabric?
Avoid ironing. Typically, attaching the diffuser to the softbox frame and leaving it in a warm environment will allow the fabric to smooth out naturally through tension.
Is the material heat-resistant?
Yes, it is designed for studio flash use, but ensure your modeling light usage adheres to the softbox manufacturer's thermal safety guidelines.
What is the primary function of the black border?
The black border provides a hard edge to the light spread, helping to create a more defined cut-off for precise lighting effects.
Troubleshooting
The diffuser appears loose or sagging on the softbox
Check that the softbox rods are fully seated and that the tensioning mechanism on the softbox is engaged correctly.
Visible light leaking from the corners
Ensure the hook-and-loop fasteners are fully aligned with the black border and pressed firmly across the entire perimeter of the softbox.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the softbox is fully assembled and the rods are tensioned. Align the corners of the diffuser with the softbox frame, pressing the hook-and-loop fasteners firmly against the edge to create a light-tight seal.
Compatibility:
This specific model is only compatible with the Broncolor 100cm x 100cm softbox system. Do not attempt to fit this on smaller or larger softboxes, as it will affect light distribution and likely fail to attach properly.
Care Instructions:

- If cleaning is necessary, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap; do not machine wash or use harsh detergents.
- Store flat or rolled loosely to prevent permanent creasing of the diffusion fibers.
