Understanding Multi-Way Circuits
If more than one switch controls a single set of lights (or load), the switches are part of a multi-way circuit.
A 3-way uses two switches to control one load, a 4-way circuit uses three switches and so on. Most
homes have one or more 3-way circuits, such as two switches located on opposite ends of hallways or at
