You can buy from a lighting company, with labour included, can be expensive. Or you can buy your own lights from IKEA, Carrafours, Leroy Merlin, etc, who stock a wide range at very competative prices and have them fitted. If you need any advice or help on living in Spain give us a call on 0034 616009262, Roy & Janet Spam post? If so please click here to report it

Be careful on older properties as we had black used as LIVE also black used as earth no sign of any greens in the wiring, the blue always came neutral but in some other connections we have found grey/ brown or black used as LIVE the whole apartment block was wired this way so unless you have the fight testing gear be careful (my huby is a sparky ) .Regards to all rosi n Spam post?
