Sorry mistyped, yes I meant photo cell not solar cell LOL.
Extending a solar cell?

I had recently mounted a solar cell under the eave. The solar cell controls a bunch of lights including two post lights and four step lights leading up to the front door.

I guess I mounted the solar cell too high so it's under the eave and not getting enough sun so it's "in the dark" a lot.
I know I can move it lower. Is there a way I can mount a conduit to the box so the solar cell can be extended "further out" from the existing box? I don't think using an extension ring to push it out another 2-3" will make a difference, might have to be 10"-12" I think.
