3 Way Switch Wiring Diagram For Multiple Lights. Here the source and the fixtures come before the switches. A three-way switch is built and wired a little Note that these diagrams assume that you're following all recommended practices for safe installation of electrical circuits.
In building wiring, multiway switching is the interconnection of two or more electrical switches to control an electrical load (often, but not always, lighting) from more than one location. The Electric Toolkit provides some basic electrical calculations, wiring diagrams (similar to those found on this website), and other electrical reference data. Click diagram to view full size.

For example, this allows lighting in a hallway, stairwell, or other large rooms to be controlled from multiple locations. Right now, each switch is functioning like a single pole, turning on/off the string of outlets rather than controlling the outlets as intended. Click diagram to view full size.
