Synopsis:
Our cameraman Tom is a wonderful individual, and when Halo asked about working together on a video, he asked if we could give his basement the lighting boost it needed to become a suave entertainment and theater space for family and friends. Say no more, Tom!

With some unique downlighting, a 3D printed fixture, & accent strip lighting for the stairs and TV, we think we may have just moved the hang-out spot from the living room down to the basement! This project doesn’t need to break the bank, and we’ll lead you through design- and code-based decisions you can make to to decorate your underground dungeon with light.

Laced within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices.
