My arrangement has four switches. One at the bottom of the stairs. The stairs
split at the landing, left and right. there is a switch at the top of the right
branch for the corridor in the old side of the house and there is a switch
outside of each bedroom on the landing at the top of the left split of stairs,
four switches altogether. they operate a set of four lights, one on the wall
outside of each of the left bedrooms in the new addition, one in the corridor
in the old half of the house and a fourth over the stairs.these lights can all
be turned on or off from any of the four points. I don't know what you call
that arrangement.

Dear Dale:
I am quite sure we are talking about different situations. The 4 way switch
arrangement I am referring to, involves one light and three switches, each of
which can turn the light on or off. I have such a situation with regard to my
entry hall lights. I have a switch just inside the exterior door, which is in
the center of the hallway, with switches at either end, which allows a person
coming in to the hallway from the kitchen end or the bedroom end to turn the
lights on or off.
A 3 way switch is used in tandem so that the user can turn the light on or
off from two locations. As you know, one can series several lights so that one
switch controls all of them, such as in my hallway, where we have three
recessed lights. My first wife picked them, and am I glad, because she has
griped for thirty-three years about how little light these can lights produce.
Yours Truly,
Clifford Wilson
