How to Build Wiring Basement Lights

Wiring the play room was the hardest because it has 2 switches which can both turn the lights on and off. This required special wires, wiring and switches (and took us most of the day to do). But none the less, it is done and we have lights in the play room (below).

This kind of video looks at wiring some basic basement lights along having a switch within the old house. Instead of putting up dry-wall or a drop-ceiling, we took an easier approach, and it come with many benefits! It gave us higher ceilings, the appearance of a larger room and a unique industrial look!

In our basement we have a tone of pipes and wiring that hang down low so we would have to move a lot of things around if we want to put a ceiling in. This seems like a much better idea.
