Guía Apagón is a personal project by Luis Antón. These are the rules we follow to write, review and correct every guide.
Where the information comes from
We start from official sources: Protección Civil, the European Commission, Red Eléctrica (the Spanish grid operator), the World Health Organization and consumer bodies. When a figure or a recommendation comes from a specific source, we link to it so you can check it. If something is our opinion or our own experience, we say so.
How we choose products
We recommend products for their real usefulness in a flat during a blackout, not for the commission. We look at the manufacturer’s specifications, the rating and number of buyer reviews, and value for money. If a product has a weak point, we tell you. No brand pays to appear. Amazon links are affiliate links: if you buy, we get a small commission at no extra cost to you (we explain it on the affiliate disclosure page).
Reviews and updates
We review the guides when official recommendations change and, at the very least, every few months. Products are checked periodically: if one is discontinued, drops in quality or a better option appears, we replace it. Each guide shows the date of its last update.
Corrections
If you find a mistake, write to us from the contact page. We’ll check it and, if you’re right, correct it as soon as possible and show the update date.
This site doesn’t replace warnings from the authorities. In an emergency, always follow official instructions and call 112 if you need to.
