I've been very impressed with Wago boxes & lever connectors [1] so far, but on the TLC website I've only seen the one kind of box, which takes T&E (or similar). Is there any reason not to use the Wago lever connectors inside a bog standard 3-way conduit box [2]?
Absolutely fine - it's one if their intended uses:
As long as you meet the requirements for cable support (ie clipped just outside or glanded in or restrained some other way).
Treat it the same as sticking a terminal strip in a box.
Here are some supportive pics:

This box is interesting - seems to have some clips to hold the wagos in:

On the subject of clipping the wagos down, it's not necessary - see page
8 in the manufacturer's leaflet:

Q "Do they need to be fixed in an enclosure?"
A "The junction box connectors do not have to be fixed down in the housing provided that the cables are secured on their way into the box. However, fixing provides a more secure and professional looking finish..."
I'll be using Wagos in various boxes for my lighting junction boxes.
I take the view that they should be treated as you would a terminal strip - with the exception that Wagos are rated maintenance free and this *could* be installed in inaccessible locations.
I meant a conduit box *with conduit connected to it*. Why would anyone use a conduit box without conduit? (Well, I guess if it's the only kind you have in stock...)
