The way the wiring was in the closet, I put a spacer box under the

the shredder and two printer, wireless print spooler in the closet out
of the way and avoid some cable tangles. Works great!

I didn't install an outlet, but I did just about the same thing for
the pull chain ceiling light - added a spacer between the fixture and
the ceiling and ran wiremold to a surface mounted switch box.
Eliminated the pull string that hung down in front of my face every
time I opened the door.

They make an extension ceiling box for that purpose. V5737

Maybe we're talking about the same thing. I used an octagon box, about
1.5" deep, open top and bottom, with punch-outs for romex connectors
on the side. Screwed it to the existing ceiling box (which is embeded
in plaster) then screwed a basic $3 ceiling light fixture to it.
