Does anyone know where I can buy some of the flexible rod, such as that used as arms on 'snake' lights, please?
An example light is at the eBay link below. I just need the arm, and that on lights such as this isn't quite long enough. I may also (due to the length) need a slightly larger diameter.

The word I had forgotten was 'gooseneck', searching for which brings up a lot of products such as microphone stands. I still can't find just the bare arm, but I think one of the many products will be a good source.
Should anyone else be interested, this one at Amazon seemed remarkably inexpensive:

Try Googling 'flexible arm'
There's this one Manfrotto Flexible Arm 55cm long 18mm diameter on
such as that
You can also try witzenmann.co.uk,
They make goosenecks up to 4 metres long, more or less as part of their stripwound tubes (there was a problem on the website so I am deducing that is how they get there)
Then there's Flexal in north London
and Moffat Products in the States.
Enough choice?

Would a flexible tap connector work?
--FWIW this stuff makes a variety of widgets that really increase the possibilities. I've got two lamps in my shop that are based on it and they work a treat.
Thanks for all the replies. I've ordered a couple of USB snake lights and a couple of the Amazon microphone goosenecks to experiment with.
(Grand total for all four items inc. p&p: £6.65!)
