wiring to operate a light from three or more switches Ask questions and find answers to many subjects relating to electrics and electrical work

[Cala Sona]

I can find information on how to wire up a circuit for a light or lights to be operated by TWO different switches, but nothing on how to do it for a light operated from THREE or more switches. Is it just a case of duplicating the connections of the second switch at the third switch and so on?

You need an intermediate switch diagram on my site http://www.ericpalmer.fsnet.co.uk/Lighting.html

Thanks for posting up the information Eric. Unfortunately I can't really follow the diagram so I think I'll just call in a sparky!
