Well what a response, thanks everyone.

I did try searching for 'fit a wall light without tracking the wall' but it produced few results.

It's an existing light fitting I'm talking about - one we bought from 'Make' just before they went bust and now plan to give to a friend who lives in a mid level flat with solid floors and ceilings (and very hard walls, as I found when fitting shelves there).

It looks like using decorative flex straight down the wall is the way to go, perhaps with an inline switch somewhere or maybe just use the switch on the nearby mains socket.

Thanks again.

Or, use Smart plugs so's you can operate them remotely, even using your phone :-)
