[QUOTE="ross.scotland, post: 523946, member: 34711"] May I ask why that is your opinion? Wagos are usually ok for inaccessible joins, unless there's anything small than a wagobox light I can't fit it in the existing back box or attach it next to wall due to cable length. Suggestion of blanking plate and grommet entrance is really no different to a grommet on a backbox or cable entrance size to a wago box. The bookcase scenario is the same as a stud wall over a solid wall. So let me ask this differently. If a solid wall had to be battened and plasterboarded over, and which means the existing switch also had to move. How would the cable be extended if it did not reach and junction points are not accessible? Edit: a quick Google brought up this Screwfix thread. Again suggesting wagos, I am perhaps over engineering some extra safety precautions.
