nice conversation, but poor old Claudia remains in the dark....naahhh.....just kidding. I've used Sergio's suggestions. By the way, in Argentina we say "¡UUUUy se cortó la luz!" quite often.... Saludos! Claudia

nothing is more permanent than the temporary "Dos años con luz de obra"

I remember too Lighting was the very first and exclusive use of electricity and for a long time. Those from Russia remember the "Illich Lamp" - the rural electrification of Lenin (Vladimir Illich Ulyanov)
Sergio Campo Jul 15, 2010:
A living creature... Many people, at least in Spain, would use nowadays the same kind of expression:

"se ha ido la luz"

Not really a fossil!
Gene Selkov Jul 15, 2010:
what a curious fossil I remember how I was irked when my grandmothers used "luz" referring to electricity:

"han cortado la luz"

That was in Russia, some 40 years ago. I don't think anyone uses this expression now.
Leonardo Lamarche Jul 15, 2010:

Construction site temporary power and water (connections)

It looks like a clause in a contract about authorizing a buyer to use the power and water connections belonging to the construction site. These connections are temporary and serve the construction site but sometimes, during the handover phase of a project, access to services is given to promissory buyers through them.

agree Anaskap : Certainly it works like that in Nicaragua! And in 2010 luz = electricity also... Se fue la luz!
