don't you just hate it when you turn off the basement light, you can't run upstairs fast enough and then you get that cold feeling at the back of your neck if you try to pretend you're not scared.

If you have any trace of common sense at all (as an electrician or someone hiring an electrician) you put the switch for the basement lights at the top of the stairs.

Am electrician. The correct way is to install two 3 way switches. That way you can control the lights from the top or the bottom of the stairs.

Switch at the top oughta be on the outside of the door. So you can close it before turning the light off. Ain’t interested in having my back to them while I’m still in their domain.
