Wiring Multiple Switches To Multiple Lights. Wiring a 3 way switch with multiple lights. Step 3 connect switch box 1.
The white or neutral wires bypass the switch so the one coming from the power source and the one from the light get spliced and capped in the box. Connect one end of the 6 inch wire to the top terminal of the first switch. A common application is in lighting where it allows the control of lamps from multiple locations for example in a hallway stairwell or large room.
Wiring multiple lights to multiple switches is similar to the basic light switch configuration except for the hot and neutral power lines are split in the box to go to two or more independent lighting circuits as shown in the diagram.
In building wiring multiway switching is the interconnection of two or more electrical switches to control an electrical load from more than one location. An electrical wiring diagram can be as simple as a diagram showing how to install a new switch in your hallway or as complex as the complete electrical blueprint. Connect one wire to the first switch in the box and the second wire to the other switch and connect the black wire from each of the lights to the other terminal on its respective switch. Tuck the wires into the junction box and then slide the switch into place inside.
