Par 38s too heavy.....

Got a couple of cheap clip on lights at Lowes, but the bulbs are too heavy for the adjustable arms. Anyone have an easy mod to make the arms more rigid? If not I guess I'll be taking them back for the clip on work lights and just paint the brackets black so they look nicer. Thanks for any ideas.

Go to the section of Lowes with the security lights. Probably on the bottom shelf, you can buy just the adjustable arms for about $3. They have a screw in the middle you can tighten. I used them and they worked great. The only bad thing is you have to have something to mount them to.
