How do you wire 4 lights with 2 switches?

Answer 1

Wire the two 3 way switches using 3 wire cable (red, black, white and bare). Then connect the first light to the others using two wire cable (black, white and bare) kind of like a daisy chain. The power goes to the first 3 way switch, then switch one goes to switch 2 using the 3 wire cable (even though it has 4 wires in there), then the second switch goes to one of the lights. Hope that helps.

Answer 2

You can wire 4 lights with 2 switches by creating a "three-way" switch circuit. Connect the power source to the first switch, then run a 3-wire cable from that switch to the second switch. From the second switch, run a 2-wire cable to each of the 4 lights. This allows you to control the lights from either switch.

Answer 3

If you want the four lights to come on/off when either switch is operated and you want the lamps to be fully lit then you must wire each lamp in parallel.

from the supply wire to the common terminal of the first switch. Connect a wire to each of the other two terminals on the first switch. Conect each of these wires to the similar terminals on the second switch.

From the common of the second switch connect a wire to the first lamp. From the other terminal of the lamp connect a wire back to the Neutral source.

This will give you one lamp controlled by two switches.

Now connect a wire from each terminal of the 1st lamp and connect it to the two terminals on the second lamp. make similar connections for lamps three and four.
