2 Way Light Switch Wiring Diagram. This is the new method to make a 2 way switch connection and it is slightly different from the two wire control method. The source is at sw1 and 2 wire cable runs from there to the fixtures.
To switch from two locations youll need 2 two way switches and wire them together in a particular way. This is a completed circuit. As you can see in the schematic diagram of 2 way switch circuit below the common of both the switches are short circuited.
The electrical symbol indicates where power enters the circuit.
Here is our selection of two way switch circuit diagrams. Consider the 2 way switch wiring diagram above that is used to control the bulb in the stairwell. The schematic shows that the circuit is complete and the bulb is on. You will see that there is a hot wire that is then spliced through a switch and that then goes to the hot terminal of the light.
