Hi,
The story so far: I was hoping to convert the cupboard under the stairs into a cloakroom. The first step is adding a light and this is proving difficult as I had hoped to keep the wires hidden. You may have seen my thread on conduit. I have put conduit inside the stud wall: at one end it goes to the light switch; at the other end it terminates in a metal back box at the top of the wall. I now need to get the wire to this top box. I can't just drop inside the wall from above as the stairs are in the way, so I will need to have a couple of inches of cable run down the outside of the wall: what is the neatest way to do this?
May be I have made things difficult by connecting the conduit to a back box? I know you can get flex outlets to screw onto a back box but I need something that would allow T&E. Does such a thing exist?
I know you can get pattress boxes that screw onto a 1G box and convert it to a 2G or 3G socket. Is there such a thing as one of these "skirts" that is only 1G wide, in other words extending the back box out onto the wall? That way I could drop into the protruding plastic box and put a blank plate over the front?
TIA
