Looking for specific equipment (semi-flexible conduit)

Hey everyone, I'm trying to find some semi-flexible conduit so that I can easily adjust several supplemental CFLs. This is kind of what I had in mind. Tubing that you can easily form into any shape with your hands, then it's rigid enough to support light loads.

I've Googled every combination of words I can think of, but simply can't find what the proper name for tubing like this. Is it even conduit? Maybe that was messing up my searches.

Any ideas what it's called or where I can get it?

Greenfield (non watertight) and Liquidtite won't hold their shape with weight hanging on them

Just spit-balling here, but would cannibalizing a goose-neck desk lamp work? If so, maybe a better deal would be a lamp store that carries parts.

Thanks for trying to find what I'm looking for FuhQ.

I've thought of cannibalizing something, but that would be an expensive option because I don't already own that type of object, and my goal was to put a supplemental light in all 4 corners.

I did find this flexible light extender which is cheaper than full on flexible desk lamps/flashlights that I could find. Although, still more expensive for 4 of them than I wanted to pay for this idea.

Another option if I end up having to buy pricier parts: Instead of putting a CFL in each corner, I off-center my HPS and have the CFL all on one side, then I could get away with only 1 or 2 flexible lights. It would also be interesting to see how much the quality changes on different sides of the plant.
