Three Way Switch Wiring Diagram Two Lights. Wiring 2 lights and 3 way switches. This diagram illustrates another multiple light circuit controlled by 3 way switches.
Shown below are two fixtures between 3 way switches. Wires consisting of a line a load a neutral a pair of travelers and two 3 way switches. Here the source and the fixtures come before the switches.
It is true that there are several wiring configurations for wiring 3 way light switches and all of the wiring configurations will depend on where the incoming circuit power is located and once that is identified the rest of the three way wiring connections are straight forward.
The power source is via the switch box sb1 and a 3 wire cable c1 runs from there to the first fixture f1. Note that this configuration is easiest to do when utilizing the first method of 3 way circuits discussed previously in our wiring a basic 3 way switch article or diagram. The hot source wire is spliced at the light box to the white cable wire running to the first switch box. Regardless of what 3 way switch wiring diagram you re following you ll need to use a 3 wire cable to connect the two 3 way light switches.
