[Shop-talk] flood light extension

[Pat Horne]

Yes. It’s galvanized & looks like galvanized water pipe but I don’t know if the thread is the same & water pipe may have burrs on the inside that could damage the wire. I’d use some sealer on the joints too. 

Peace, Pat

Sounds good.  Is rigid conduit and couplings suitable for outdoor use?  Thanks.

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.
