unpowering wall outlet having wall switch
I am removinging an existing wall lamp fixture that is controlled by a wall switch (need to put china cabinet and lamp protrudes too far into space). I am told that simply covering open wires with wire nuts, pushing them back into wall opening, and turning wall switch off is insufficient safeguard. What is safe way to put this receptacle out of use without necessarily pulling wires from switch (in future years a wall lamp here may be handy)?
Thanks!
Thanks!
