I would not even consider using 16mm backboxes anymore with the modern requirements for dimmers, controls etc etc. 25mm minimum is the way to go (unless you think the wall might fall down )

HI Paulpa, get the deeper boxes mate because if you ever need to swap the front switch with newer ones or dimmer switches they often have a bigger and deeper connection block on the back which requires the deeper box
