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.
Yes you can. There are three ways of doing this. Two are incorrect and one is the correct way of doing it.The two switches can be paralleled together to make the light fixture respond. Both of the two switches will always have to be in the on position. Either switch will turn the light off but the second switch will not turn the light on. Very inconvenient when you enter a room through one door and leave by another.The two switches can be wired in series. Both switches have to be on to operate the light but again if one of either switch is left in the off position the other switch will not operate the light fixture. Very inconvenient when you enter a room through one door and leave by another.The correct way of wiring two switches to control a central light fixture is with a three way switching system (two way in the UK). The two positions have to have special three way switches in each position. These types of switches sort out the problems of leaving a switch in a certain position to operate properly. The only criteria is that there be a three conductor cable joining the two three way switch boxes together.See related links below.
Dimmer switches control the amount of electricity flowing to the light fixture by rapidly turning the power on and off. This rapid cycling can cause the light fixture to vibrate or emit a buzzing sound, especially if the light fixture is not compatible with the dimmer switch. Upgrading to a dimmer switch designed for the specific type of light fixture can help reduce or eliminate the noise.
An intermediate switch layout involves two switches controlling a single light fixture. One switch is typically located at each end of a corridor or staircase, allowing the light to be turned on or off from either location. This layout requires a three-core and earth cable to connect the switches and the light fixture.
You can achieve this by connecting the two light switches in parallel on the same home run. Run a wire from the feed to the first switch, then another wire from that switch to the second switch, and finally a wire from the second switch to the light fixture. It's important to follow electrical codes and use appropriate wiring methods to ensure safety.
Popping sounds in a single bulb light fixture when turned on could be caused by a loose connection, a faulty bulb, or moisture inside the fixture. Check for loose connections and ensure the bulb is properly seated. If the issue persists, consider replacing the bulb and making sure the fixture is dry before use.

Yes. They are well insulated and have thermal cutoff switches.
The single light will not come on. The traveler legs from the two switches will have to be opened simultaneously if they are not then you will get a flick of light.
When there's two switches connected to the same lamp it's usually because the lamp was meant to be able to be turned on and off from two different places. Useful in corridors and stairs and places like that. Or it can be that it originally was a fixture with more than one bulb in it. Two switches meant you could get different amounts of light out of the same fixture.

This requires 3-way switches that have three separate terminals (plus ground). The method of wiring depends on where the light fixture is in relation to the switches and the feed wires. Most brands of switches contain wiring diagrams to help the installation.

The plural of the noun candelabrum is candelabra (candle tree, a light fixture).The term candelabrum refers to a single part of the fixture, or a candlestick, and is seldom used to refer to the fixture.

No, a single pole switch is not designed to function as a dimmer. Dimmer switches are specifically designed to control the amount of electrical current flowing to a light fixture, allowing for adjustable brightness levels. Using a single pole switch as a dimmer may cause damage to the switch, light fixture, or both.
