Brian,

This is just a light on my home/shop.  While I 
try to do things the right way, no one will be 
inspecting this.  Does code even apply to 
this?  This is essentially a light fixture, not 
part of structure wiring.  I have seen homemade 
light fixtures like creative artistic 
chandeliers.  I have also seen outdoor lights 
made of things like old lanterns or the globes 
from old gas pumps.  I'm not trying to challenge 
you here, I really don't know where the line is drawn.

Is there any way to extend the part with the threaded end?&nbsp; Through 
some bad planning, one of the lights is blocked by the gutter 
downspout.&nbsp; I would like to extend it out from there.&nbsp; If the
wires 
need to be longer I can figure out how to do that.&nbsp; Whatever I do
