In this episode in our series, "The House That Wisdom Built", Vince and Nathan dive into the part of construction that quietly decides how your home feels: the electrical and lighting plan. They break down Kelvin temps (why 2700K–3000K is the sweet spot), layered lighting (ambient, task, accent), and smart choices that keep daily life simple—from motion-sensor switches in closets and pantries to outlet planning for drawers, EV chargers, and even future lifts. They also cover bathroom sconces (goodbye overhead shadows), toe-kick night lights, exterior timers/holiday circuits/path lighting, and how tools like DIGS + a lighting pro (Visual Comfort, etc.) make room-by-room walkthroughs painless and precise.

Takeaways
• Plan lighting early and in layers (ambient / task / accent)
• Match Kelvin to the room’s purpose (cozy vs. crisp)
• Do a detailed walkthrough (switch order, outlet heights, TV/bed locations)
• Add smart where it helps (motion sensors, scenes) without overcomplicating
• Pre-wire/plan for the future (EV/220, art lighting, exterior)
