Cultural Note
In Spain, 'la luz' commonly refers to both light and electricity. Electricity bills (factura de la luz) are a frequent topic of conversation among Spanish couples, as energy costs have risen significantly. Spain has time-based electricity pricing, so many couples run washing machines and dishwashers during off-peak hours (after midnight or early morning) to save money.
