I’m visiting Norway, and see many outlets way up high. Some are mid wall , some are down to the bottom…but many up high. Saw someike this since the airport. Any idea why they do this?

    Electrical work in Sweden shall be done by an electrician as well, but we just have the plug on the ceiling, so it’s not as ugly (the base of the hanging lamp hides it).

    Norway has so many inane rules. If they didn’t have oil, their country would have shut down decades ago.

      As a relative newcomer, I shall decline to comment 😂

      Live in Sweden, not true for pretty much all apartments I have lived in on the west coast. And it was quite a few because foreigner coming to Sweden and not buying a place to stay immediately means moving at least once a year. Not one had the lamp plug where the lamp was, all the plugs are at a nearby wall so you have to hang the cable over to the lamp.

      Not saying what you say doesn’t exist, but to my experience it is not standard.

      The newer apartments have different plugs though, like this one https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_for_Connection_of_Luminaires
