Hi I am a qualified uk electrician with 17th edition and 2391 etc. Just bought a small apartment in Spain and am having new lowered ceilings fitted. An ideal time to install down lights and ceiling lights to replace all the wall lights.

I understand the Spanish way of wiring. Flexible conduit buried in walls running between junction/access boxes and on to lights and switches, CPCs same size as live conductors, double pole MCBs etc etc.

What I am not sure about is the erection methods, i.e. whether it is neccesary to run flexible conduit in a ceiling void situation, and if so how to terminate it at lights and down lights. T and E is not used in Spain, but flex is. I could run flex from the high level joint boxes, via a short piece of flexy conduit buried in the wall, and up into the ceiling and then just flex across to the lights.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated,
 
Thanks for that. The main issue is though,in Spain is it ok to wire a number of downlights above a false ceiling in 3 core flex, or should it be done in flexible conduit,
