What's the best way to wire an FCU that fed an old immersion heater now disconnected to power a light that is to be fitted in a cupboard upstairs. The FCU is halfway in the cupboard so a bit far to use a switched fcu for the downlight so I need to connect a switch near the door. Would this be...

If cable was extendid in a loft would just the waggo be sufficiant or would extra protection be needed to protect the block...
Three questions I'm afraid. Although Ihaven't encountered it yet, I feel certain I will come across a cable, IEC or instance, which will have an enclosed connector block to extend it. My understanding of the regs is that it will be a fail as it should have no connection. If I have to explain...
I'm looking at using Wago connectors soon for general domestic lighting. I'm not keen on terminate all the cables into the ceiling rose, so I'm going to use Wago connectors and drop a tail down to the light fitting.
