How do you add lighting to an unfinished basement?

=== === By asking this question you are probably not quite ready to take on this particular task. The correct answer to your question will depend on the distance from the breaker panel and exact locations of the lighting units, their voltage and power rating. Additional lighting and wiring for it can be pulled off an existing lighting circuit as long as the circuit breaker for the circuit still has unused current capacity available AND the existing wiring is capable of carrying the extra current load without overheating or catching fire. As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
