Hi chaps.

Put a couple of additional lighting fixtures into a kitchen. Now got a hole in the wall where the spagetti of cables is connected up with Wagos (by the way, this is not a clients place, it's ours so I've overlooked the regs for this "temporary" fix!)

I've got a cavity of about 30mm to bury this lot in and I'd like to plaster over (someone will shoot me I'm sure) to avoid having a nasty looking plate on the wall.

Can someone recommend a maintenance free box to put this lot in? I know the Wagos are almost maintenance free, but not quite because they've got no strain relief themselves.

Got a loop-in, 2 runs to switches and 2 runs to fixtures which need to be connected and hidden.
 
I would avoid having 'a spaghetti of cables' in the first place.
Imagine going in and trying to test that lot without knowing it's there because it's plastered over, maintenance-free wagos or otherwise.
 
Excuse the stupid questions, I admit that (as many people know) I'm new to the game.

Where do people normally hide the junction boxes for lighting fixtures which don't have the loop-in, loop out, switch etc terminals built in?
