If more than one switch controls a single set of lights (called a LOAD), the switches are part of a multi-way 
circuit.  A 3-way circuit uses two switches to control a LOAD, a 4-way circuit uses three switches, and so 
forth.  Most homes have one or more 3-way circuits, with two switches located in hallways, stairwells, or 
two different entrances to a room.  Less commonly found are circuits that are 4-way or above. 

You can use SwitchLinc Dimmers to replace switches in multi-way circuits that are already wired in, or 
you can use them to create virtual multi-way circuits where there is no existing wiring. 

Here is how a wired-in three-way circuit (with two switches) works:
