Lee Cherry , i have the same question for the same reason. I have an Aero-G and will soon need to extend the built in cord too. I want to avoid splicing it . I have sent email to a number of DIY electronics place and am waiting for replies. You posted this over a year ago. I'm wondering what your outcome was. I will likely put the light on a shelf bracket that is adjustable for height. What did you do? PEACE
