I just bought a house and have been doing some small renovations before we move in. I'm getting read to try my hand at doing some rewiring and running a couple new outlets in the house.

One of the things I'm wanting to do is rewire the switch for the recessed lights in the basement. The switch it all the way across the basement instead of at the bottom of the stairs. The main panel to the house is also located in the basement. I turned on the lights and went to the panel and started shutting off breakers one at a time. I flipped every single one and those lights never shut off. I thought I was losing my mind so I flipped off every breaker individually in the house and they still stayed on. Any ideas?

I have a 2 car attached garage that is unfinished, no drywall. 1/2 of the garage has a garage door opener, a light, and a duplex outlet. I want to build a work bench on the other side and run 2 duplex outlets to it, an overhead light and a garage door opener.

Do I need to add a new circuit? Do I need to run my wiring in conduit?
