I understand what this item does, but what's the point of extending the length ?

When you have recessed lighting in the kitchen or other room of your house these extenders bring the bulb lower to have more light. This is how I use mine. Hope this helps.

Sometimes the bulb you want to use doesn't properly throw it's light because it is in a recessed fixture. By using an extender like this, you can bring the bulb out a bit more, allowing it to provide more ambient light. Or at least, that's how I use these...

I have a CFL that has a square box just above the threads. This box will not physically fit into the recessed "can" around the socket in the lamp. I need the extender in order for the threads to reach the socket.

I used it to adapt LED flood lights so that they could be used in older recessed ceiling lights fixtures. Without the extenders, the LED bulb was too recessed in the fixture. It looked funny and cut the amount of light available.

I replaced incandescent floodlight bulbs with LED floodlight bulbs without replacing the original fixtures. These fixtures have conical protective "cans" within which the bulbs are installed. The LED bulb is less than half the length of the incandescent bulb and was therefore recessed deeply within the fixture. Adding two extenders brought the face of the LED bulb flush with the open end of the fixture. This made a noticeable difference in the amount and spread of light projected. A single extender, in my case, provided a majority of the improvement.

I'm using these to get my $30 100W equivalent LED bulb farther away from a conical glass shades' interior sides. LED bulbs do get hot and they do need ventilation. Am still waiting for the truly improved light bulb. This one is advertised to have a lifespan that should outlast me, but somehow I expect to be replacing it pretty soon, as I have with my supposedly long-lasting CFLs.

Some of the brighest LED bulbs are very large and won't fit in certain enclosures. I've just added a customer image showing exactly this scenario. It should be visible above soon.

It just plugs into the wall. So you can use any extension cord to make it longer.

Sorry, Kim I was fortunate and it was not necessary for me to reduce the length. However, I remember reading in thw reviews it has been a problem. Hopefully, someone out there will have the answer.

It coins be done if you needed the extra length to tie it off but it wouldn't be usable. The trolley wouldn't go from 1 cable to the next.

Its long enough no need for extensions or anything, its not too long but its enough

its a fixed length, it doesn't extend it seems about 18-24 inches long. i didn't measure.

I don't know. I used it for the first time last week when I was camping with my grandson for a week. It would be great if it were able to be extended. I am going to check with my electrician.

Hmm, I'm not 100% sure. We have only used ours once. The one that comes with it can't be extended I don't think

because its metal item, try using a metal/aluminum/steel cutter. Best guess. Did not have to adjust my length.

The overall length is 32" when extended but it looks like the end loops maybe configured to add another two inches or more. I think you will have to just try it out, if it does not work, return it. It is built very well.

I think its just for show the braided wire. Mine seems long enough. Did you undo the wire all the way.

This will work but you have to know how long you want the extension they come in different lengths.

I haven't noticed that at all. Sorry, though, cannot verify. The length more than serves all of my needs.

Never noticed until you raised the question. Couldn't really find a purpose unless that side is stronger at locked it in when in the open position???If you find out, let me know, : )

I really don't know but my instinct would be no since it is short and you might want something with more length to it. ??

No, the way the unit is configured, it does not appear that it would be possible to add an extension. You could check with the manufacturer to se if the have a longer cable available.

Partially. It depends on what you want it to do.You can use it to extend the cable that came with the headphones, but not replace that cable.Also, and this is important: on cables with microphone and/or remote functionality, they will NOT pass through to the device.
