I've got an ancient, maybe 40 or 50 years old, switch for the

Increasingly, it gets hot in use and has started to smell slightly (I
think it's a heated plastic type smell).
I want to replace it with a switch like this https://bit.ly/336ClVA ,
mounted in a steel back box, on the wall next to it.Â* Am I allowed to
do that?
IT will look silly on a metal backbox, they are intended to be sunk
into the wall. Just use a single surface-mount pattress box like

Good point. Although a metal box designed for industrial installations
with conduit would be OK.
