    Hi Folks,

    i was looking to move a light in my house on the stairs theres a ceiling rose as per attached
    and the new light is a big fixture with a live and a neutral same as the ceiling rose i wanna move it across about 3 feet theres no slack on the wiring so i was gonna extend the
    cable from the ceiling rose using a small block connector and bring it accross and drop it down does that sound like the best way to go?

    Thanks :0

    If the connection is accessible i.e it's in a attic space then yes you can use wago connectors and a wago box to make the connection.

    Outside of that connections shouldn't be inaccessible
