Running wire from wall to entertainment center
Hi. Not sure in which forum this question belongs.
I have a large entertainment center that stands 6 inches from the wall. I found some LED lights that can only be dimmed by a wall dimmer. Is it permissable to run BX (armor) from a wall plate to a work box mounted to the back of the entertainment center? I would the run the lights into the work box and have a wall dimmer to control the lights.
Many thanks for any responses.

No,but you could put a receptacle in that box then install your other box to the back of the Ecenter and using a piece of SJO cord with proper connectors and male cord cap plug it into your new receptacle .

Thank you for your response. So if I understand your suggestion, the SJO cord is an alternative to the armor, correct? The end configuration would be: wall dimmer to receptacle, SJO with male cord cap plugged into the receptacle, other end of the SJO terminates in a work box, lighting joins SJO feed in work box. Correct?

You can't have the dimmer for the receptacle, install the receptacle, cord from new box would have a male cap on one end that would plug into that receptacle, feed for lights would come into new box along with the dimmer.
