Let me add one thing I forgot. The stairs leading upstairs to the second
floor, usually there are bedrooms. I put lights (small ones) embedded into
every second stair. There was a "stair switch" that would turn on the lights
for these stairs, instead of someone having to turn on the main light,
waking everyone in the house, turn on the stair lights and away you go.
You can also do this in the kitchen area, so if you are watching a movie
with no lights on, and someone wants to get up, the main lights don't
go on and disrupt. I didn't have to go this far, the stair lights were
perfect for lighting up the kicthen (dimly) too
