I can probably answer this question but to do so I need more info; switchleg from where another light? And why are you switching it again? or are you adding a light? Respond to my message page and I'll try to answer it further. I am hooking up a light fixture in an add on closet. I am feeding from the light in the bedroom, and I want to control the closet light from a switch just out side the closet door.

Why, if you need two switches to operate one fixture,you install two three way switches,

the switch comes with a wiring diagram. You will also need to wire with 12/3wgr,

this has 4 wires.

Diagram of one light and three single switches?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz power supply service.For information on how to hook-up one light with two or three on-off switches, see the Related link "How to wire 3-way and 4-way switches, including wiring diagrams", shown below. When using the correct size wire, there are several possible configurations of power connection, lighting outlet, and the two 3-way switches. Power can come from the panel to one switch or the other, or to the light, whichever is convenient. The light can be physically positioned between the switches or at the end of the two-switch series.Each configuration requires different handling of the hot, switched travelers, and neutral wires. In every case, there are runs that require three parallel conductors, whether for neutral, hot or travelers, not including any grounding wires. A 3-wire cable is highly recommended for this application.If there are more than two switch locations, a 4-way switch goes between the 3-way switches to crossover the two travelers. Two 3-conductor cables are used for this portion, including a bypass connection for the un-switched hot.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.


How does a single pole switch differ from a three way?

A proper "3-way switch" would be capable of being switched to 3 different positions and could have one, two or more poles. Each pole could be either single- or double-throw."How does a single pole switch differ from a three way?" is a trick question often asked to catch-out new trainee electricians because the common but mis-named "three-way switch" is actually a single pole, double throw switch, i.e. it is only a 2-way switch, not a 3-way switch.A pair of "3-terminal, single pole, double throw" switches are often used to hook-up two separate light switches to control one light or one set of lights.The same answer put in a different wayDespite the fact that the name "3-way switch" is often used to describe it, if it is of the type that has just one pole that can only be physically switched 2 ways, the name "3-way switch" is quite wrong for that particular switch. A "3-terminal, single pole, double throw" switch" is a more accurate description for it.

How do you hook up a 120V light switch?

It depends on where your live power is at: the switch or at the light. I won't give instructions on this one because just saying "tie the whites together" can be misleading (sometimes the white is used for the hot), as wire colors can have different uses when dealing with switches. One piece of information though: NEVER SWITCH THE NEUTRAL!
