I had an old under-cabinet fluorescent light fixture which I removed. The ROMEX (?) cable comes from behind the cabinets, 110V AC. I installed new LEDs which I prefer to plug into an outlet, I bought one of those combinations switch/outlet, so it is very easy to turn ON/OFF. But now Ihave this live 110V AC wire from the old fixture. What I did was to cut Neutral and Ground flush with the outside ROMEX sleeve, and leave the LIVE wire about 2" longer, cut off the part where the insulation was stripped and put a wire nut on top of it anyway, and tucked it back in between the wall and cabinets in the small gap it came from, and pushed it back about one inch or so. Now you can't even see it, and like I said, I have a wire nut over the live wire.
Do you think this is OK?
