The easiest solution might be to just remove the one light that is in the way
and plug the opening with a closure plug. You would then just have a single
light, but maybe that is ok.

If you just need a short extension, you could use a conduit coupling and
nipple. My concern would be the length of the wire. Any wire connections
should be in the electrical box and not in conduit. I would probably use some
plumbers tape to make sure the threaded connections are watertight to keep the
rain out.

Subject: [Shop-talk] flood light extension
Outside my shop I have a typical flood light with two of these:
https://www.lowes.com/pd/Sigma-Electric-2-25-in-LED-Gray-Switch-Controlled-Floodlight/3136837
Is there any way to extend the part with the threaded end? Through some bad
planning, one of the lights is blocked by the gutter downspout. I would like to
extend it out from there. 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.
