(again?) screw into light socket: male--SWIVEL--female (for pointable floodlight)

I asked something similar a year or two ago; am trying again in case new products exist for this.

For either a floodlight-in-ceiling-"can" OR pointing-down lightbulb socket in exhaust fan and light assembly that sits four or five feed above the gas burners on a kitchen stove -- in either one of those I'd like to be able to unscrew the bulb or flood-light, replacing it with a screw-in thingie (best name I can think of) that then has a swivel (gymbal?) from which sticks out a light-bulb socket, into which I can screw in either the bulb or flood-light, and point it to wherever (nearby) I want more light.

See, when the kitchen was redone (I won't tell you how much THAT cost!), there's a place that's *perfect* for standing next to and reading newspapers on.

Except that the ceiling floodlights (in "cans" built into the ceiling, with floodlight (or lightbulb, for cheap) shoots light-beam straight (vertically) down.

And not one of them is over the paper-reading spot.

What I'd like to do is having that screw-in swiveling thing (yes, will extend out of can to below the ceiling -- UGLY! UGLY! UGLY! GET THAT THING OUT OF HERE! *PLEASE* PUT IT BACK THE WAY IT WAS!)

and I could screw into that, and POINT it so I can read the paper.

(The "UGLY!" problem. I could sneak into the kitchen, unscrew the inside-the-can flood-light, screw in my male--swivel--female--extra-flood-already-screwed-in -- you get the idea. Quickly removalable.)

So, any such swivel-things? HD doesn't have them, and google, with my probably stupid search strings, found nothing. And I tried an electric-supply place; they too had never heard of such a thing.

(Maybe wrong electric supply place?)

Any such products?

Any suggestions?

THANKS!

Get an "eyeball" can.

re: "a screw-in thingie (best name I can think of)"

A screw-in "device".

Instead of installing a device that you admit will be ugly, why not just add another can or 2 (to help even things out) with a different switch perhaps, to light this "perfect" area?

Thanks for the ideas!

All three are good.

I'll go see what I can find (and ask an electrician for a price for an extra can and switch -- no sense having 4 cans turned on when one will do just fine, as long as it's pointing at the right place!).

Thanks much!
