Run the power line to a light box in each room, then drop a switch leg from each light box.

The power line should daisy-chain to each box, with a "tap" off for the lights of each room.

If you do not have experience with lighting or switch logic, it would be much more safe for you to contract with a qualified electrician.

Why dining room lights go on and off intermittently?

Check for loose wiring at the light itself and also at the light switch. There can also be a loose wire anywhere in the circuit supplying power to that light switch. Start at the light itself and work backwards in the circuit until you find the loose wire.


Where is the switch allowed to be placed in the bathroom?

In North America the switch can be placed either inside the room or outside the room. When it is inside the room it is placed on the opening side of the door so that when you enter the room, the switch can be flipped on. When the switch is located on the outside of the room a convenient placement is close to the door opening so that when you open the door the switch can be turned on in one continuous motion.

What can cause 1 light to dim when 3 others in the room are ok the light works from its own 2 way switch?

The switch sounds like it might be arcing. Switches are inexpensive, change it out with a new one. With the power off and the old switch removed check the connections in the switch junction box for loose splices or burnt wire nut connectors. If everything is fine there check the light junction box for loose connections.


What is the standard placement of bathroom light switches?

AnswerFor installations according to US and similar wiring codes: the level as other light switches in the rest of your house and next to the door opening.For installations according to UK wiring regulations: it is not permitted to position a normal shoulder-height light switch inside a bathroom.A switch for the light(s) in a bathroom, shower room or toilet can be positioned either 1) OUTSIDE the room at the level of other light switches in the rest of your house, next to the room's door opening, or 2) as a pull-switch mounted on the ceiling INSIDE the room, just inside the door opening.However, since the latest UK wiring regulations were issued, only a qualified and Licensed Electrician is allowed to install or modify electrical wiring in a bathroom, cloakroom/toilet, kitchen or any other kind of room where water taps ("faucets" in US parlance) sinks, baths, showers, etc. are installed.In the UK, a plate switch may be used if it outside the desigated zones (atleast 0.6m from the edge of the bath or shower and must be suitable for the location(IP rated)).a pull switch maybe mounted on the ceiling anywhere in the room NOT above the shower/bath.This does NOT apply for socket outlets which have to be a minimum of 3m from the bath/shower in the same room,Remember all new circuits MUST be RCD proteded in locations containing a bath or shower (other special locations apply!)

There is a room with a door with three lights in it you cant see in the room how do you find out what lightswitch goes with what light in the room but you can not open the door?

First you turn on one of the switches and don't enter the room for sometime, till the light inside is heated up. Then switch that light off, and then turn the second one on and enter the room. The one heated up (feel by hand) is the first switch that was turned on, the one glowing is the second switch turned on and the remainder not hot nor light up is the third switch * WHY DOES IT MATTER IF YOU CANT OPEN THE DOOR??

What is the answer to the light switch riddle?

Turn the first light switch on and wait 5 minutes, turn it off. Turn the second light switch on and go into the other room. The light bulb that is currently "on" represents the second light switch. Touch the next two light bulbs and which ever is hotter represents the first light switch. You can find the third by cancelling out the other two.
