Only 2 3-way switches are need, anymore you then have to use 4 way switch. Say you got a hall light, you wanted to control the light from the top of the stairwell and the bottom of the stairwell as well as the front entrance of the house. This will require 2 3ways and a 4 way switch. There always ONLY 2 3-ways switches and if more switches are required then you will need a 4 way switch for each location. (e.g)A light will be control from 6 differernt locations, u need 2 3-ways, and 4 4ways switches. |
