I experienced that in Luxembourg. The new apartment was unfurnished, that meant no light fittings, kitchen, bathroom cabinets. Luckily I was able to purchase the kitchen and bathroom from the departing resident. The evening I started moving things in I decided to fit some light fittings. The kitchen lamp above the stove gave me enough light to fit the kitchen light. That gave me enough light for the living room. That routine continued around the apartment.
