Spring-Loaded,Cantilevered Work Light FARM SHOP Handy Hints 20-4-30 Roland Schild, Greenfield, Ill.: Schild made a spring-loaded, cantilevered work light that'll extend 18 ft. out from the wall. Equipped with a 300 watt halogen bulb, he simply patterned the light after a small desk lamp. He took measurements off the small lamp and increased them proportionately, using 1-in. sq. steel tubing and three garage door springs to hold it in place.
