What will happen if the two switches connected to light up a single bulb are on?

It is dependant on whether the switches are in wired in a parallel or series configuration. If the switches are wires in parallel then both switches would have to be off to turn the light bulb off. Either switch could turn the light bulb on. If the switches are wired in series then both switches would have to be on to turn the light bulb on. Either switch could turn the light bulb off.


Wire a three-way switch One light controlled by two switches- similar to a hall ligt. SPDT switches?

To wire a three-way switch with SPDT switches for one light controlled by two switches, you will need to connect the common terminal of one switch to the hot wire coming from the power source, connect the common terminal of the other switch to the light fixture, and connect the two remaining terminals of the switches together with one wire. This configuration allows either switch to control the light. Be sure to follow proper wiring techniques and safety precautions.

How do you wire one light and one GFCI and another light light and fan with two switches and one power line?

You can wire the first light and GFCI in series on one switch. For the second light and fan with two switches, use a 3-wire cable for the hot, neutral, and traveler wires between the switches. Connect the hot wire to the power source, and then branch out to each switch. Connect the light and fan to the switches separately using the switched leg of the power from each switch.

Need to answer these questions, then find where the bathroom light power comes from. It's power supply should either go directly from the power oanel to the bathroom light or to the bathroom light switch. The bathroom light switch merely acts as an interrupter for the hot leg of this power supply.
