Hello All
Just about to go to Spain and need to fix some lights in my apartment. Is there anything I need to watch out for, is their wiring very different from the UK? Any advice.......... Cheers Richard |

Cheers Richard They use the star system rather than a ring main. Also their workmanship is very poor. Also there maybe more than one disbribution board. -- zaax |

Only thing to watch out for is that some installations aren't too fussy about differentiating live and neutral wires. Some of my lights were wired with just blue covered single-core wire. The spanish also require junctions to be covered with square pull-out panels that are flush with the walls.
