My advice is similar to those already mentioned . . . Put in two light circuits; one for room lighting and another for layout lighting. You may later want to connect the layout lighting to a fast clock which is very cool when it is done right. I would have two sets of outlets in the room with a switch to cut the power to each set when you leave the room. One set could be isolated and filtered to protect sensitive electronics in the future and having two wall outlet circuits allows more power as mentioned before. I would also recommend some outlets in the ceiling because that may be the most direct access to some parts of the layout after the scenery is substantially complete. I look forward to the day I have a full basement. Good Luck and enjoy. - Ed
