Depends on how many lights are on that breaker and the size of wire feeding it. If there is still capacity on that circuit (15 A are the norm with 14G wire). Use 14 from the switch box to the new 15 A outlet box if that is what is feeding the light circuit. Wire up your new ground fault/arc fault as required depending on the basement room. Also make sure you get the correct black wire in the switch box that is line and not switched. Makes sure you tie the new ground wire and white wire to the existing wires in the switch box. Watch some youtube if you get stuck.

Awesome, thanks for the help! I will check the breaker and see what else if anything is fed from that circuit. I don't think there is anything else, but I will see.
