Installing New Lighting In A Stairwell

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.

Synopsis:
We’ve done several lighting upgrades and repairs on this channel, but this one is unique in that it is above AND beneath a staircase. Tight spaces, awkward angles, support considerations, and light spread and shadow collectively make this a challenging installation of hair-pulling proportions. We’ve got some technical recommendations, code requirements, and tool shortcuts that we hope can keep your home project moving.
