maybe screw in an outlet adapter and plug in a string of christmas

Then it will always be Christmas in your basement.

But make sure you have no unintended openings in your basement walls,
etc. You may attract elves.

"claustrophobia" in not a fear of closets. It's a fear of Christmas.

I just moved into a new house in Ontario, Canada. I noticed that in
my stairwell from the main floor to the basement there is no light.
The only light is at the bottom of the stairwell about 1 foot from the
first step. I talked to my builder and he says by code that's all
that's required. The stairwell is very dark even with that light and
that fact that its a 90 degree stairwell means that the top portion is
almost totally dark even with the light on at the bottom.

Can someone clarify that the code states that no light is required in
the stairwell ?
Thanks.
