    1 electric switch working 3 independent light fixtures
    I would like to have 3 light fixtures hooked up to one electric switch. Having the capability of turning each on individually.

    Thanks Much,
    T.

    Can't be done, at least not with standard switches and wiring. To control three fixtures independently requires 3 on-off switches. They could all be mounted in one box, so that all there switches are mounted side-by-side.

    Thinking outside the box: it woud be possible (in theory) to have a single rotary-stye switch with 8 positions, wired so that the 8 possible combinations for on-off of the three fixtures are available. But I doubt that's what you're looking for.

    Could possibly run one hot and pigtail individual leads to pull chains on the lights. Not an easy solution.
