Steve - I just mention for safety/awareness. I am not an electrician or =
building contractor.
You could probably get away with junctions in the pull box for small wires =
like the light in this case, but if there was ever a problem and an =
insurance inspector determined it was caused by a code violation, they =
could deny the claim.
A home inspector could also question it as part of a home inspection for =
the house buyer when you sell. I had a buyer of my house in 2009 try and =
negotiate a better price for "code violations" their inspector found. I =
forwarded them a response from the city building department with code =
references showing their inspector was in error and I was in compliance =
with code. The sale happened, but it was hassle and a nervous buyer could =
use valid non-code compliance to walk away from a sale.
All my experience is in suburban CA, so it my be different in the nice =
places where others on the list live.

Check local codes. My city does not allow junctions in pull boxes =
like these. I had several to change angles or in the middle of long=
pulls and had to open the cover for the building inspector.

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
