Bit of a Heath Robinson affair but it worked for him. The layers of work top were adjusted to give the right distance for the condensers.
Due to health reasons he has since dismantled his darkroom and disposed of his equipment so I cannot photograph it for you.

Interesting, but I think I will tolerate the increased exposure times and think about this type of workaround should it becomes a problem or I am feeling particularly adventurous.
Thanks, Mike
