OBSOLETE
(20 MAR 2006 VERSION)

Strategy:
We will have the usual lights, switches, and always-on outlets for each room.

plus

To accommodate museum displays (on 1st floor) and art exhibits (on 2nd floor), we will have switched outlets on the ceiling beams, to plug in temporary spotlights or other devices, which can be rearranged to light the exhibits, artworks, etc. on the walls. These outlets on each floor will all be controlled by 1 switch on that floor.

plus

To accommodate a stage on the 2nd floor we will have, just before the stage area, additional ceiling-mounted outlets (always on) into which we will plug computer-controlled theatrical lights, arranged and clamped onto a support pipe, as needed to light the stage area.

Note: since many of the walls will not be enclosed at first, it may be necessary, when running wires, to use metal-sheathed "BX" type wire, or conduit installation in order to protect wires.
