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?

Those are usually connected to a light switch for connecting ceiling lights. Especially in older houses from when it was common to have many dim lights instead of few bright ones.
Seeing as it’s grounded, that one is new-ish… before the 80’s, it would probably not have been grounded.
Also, close to a window tells me that its primary use nowadays is for christmas lights.

Makes sense… but they opted to use different outlet for lights… but makes sense.
The bottom outlet is closer and wall lamps come with switches and cables that go down. The high outlets would probably be used for ceiling lamps. Mounting a beside lamp in a living space however is definitely a choice
