[Shop-talk] flood light extension

[Jim Stone]

I had to do that a number of years ago for pretty much the same reason. As I recall, the thread size is the same as standard plumbing and I just used a short length of black pipe with a connector to extend the reach and painted it to match. It would be easy to check by bringing one of the fixtures from the electrical department to the plumbing department.

If the wires need to be longer I can figure out how to do that.  Whatever I do will have to be suitable for outdoor use.  Moving the downspout would be difficult.  I can also relocate the whole light, but some sort of extension arm would be the quickest and easiest solution of it is possible.  Thanks.
