Lighting Circuit Diagram 2 Way Switch. This is a completed circuit. Multiple light wiring diagram.
2 way switching means having two or more switches in different locations to control one lamp they are wired so that operation of either switch will control the light. Pin1 of both the switches are connected with the phase or live wire and pin2 of both the switches are connected with the one end of the lamp. This diagram illustrates wiring for one switch to control 2 or more lights.
By wiring a 2 way switch the circuit below shows the basic concept of electricity flow to the load.
This arrangement is often found in stairways with one switch upstairs and one switch downstairs or in long hallways with a switch at either end. You will see that there is a hot wire that is then spliced through a switch and that then goes to the hot terminal of the light. The power source comes from the fixture and then connects to the power terminal. The electrical symbol indicates where power enters the circuit.
