    Wiring 3 switches, each controlling a separate light
    Where can I find a diagram to show how to wire 3 switches in the same box, each controlling a different light?

    Thanks.

    Not really sure what your looking for, if you have two 3 way in one 2 gang box, then each switch has another 3 way someplace else.

    Depending on how the cabling is done, it is very possible to have only two 3 wire cables in the box, each connecting to it's own three way switch.

    Can you provide more detail as to your situation?

    I have a switch box that will hold 3 different switches. Each switch will control a different light. This is for a remodel so I can do the cabling how I want. The walls are open. I have purchased 3 each both single pole and double pole switches.

    Hope I am clear.

    I have the same situation and can't find the diagram you mentioned.

    I have 3 switches in one box. One 2-wire power supply entering the box. How do I wire the 3 switches to control 3 separate lights. The 3 sets of lights are in my barn and are laid out as follows. 1st switch controls 3 lights in the middle of the barn. 2nd switch controls 4 stall lights. 3rd switch controls 2 outside lights. Thank You for your time.

    Sorry I took so long, been busy.

    You probably already have it figured out, but I attached the diagram anyway.

    I cannot tell from your diagram so I can assume that the black gets 3 pigtails one to each switch and the whites get connected together and the three blacks from the ceiling lights get connected to other screw on switch
