Default Two-way and intermediate switches

John wrote:
I'm no electrician but my mate reckons that you can have as many
intermediate switches as you want on a two-way circuit (think switching the
landing light on downstairs before going to bed but it's a long landing with
six rooms - he wants each room to have its own switch on the landing).

I reckon that you can have the two two-way switches as normal, with one
intermediate switch. Who's correct - and if he's right, and you can have
more than one intermediate switch, can anyone give a wiring diagram
(preferably not ASCII as I can never make head nor tail of them)?

Cheers and TIA


I'm thinking of putting these switches left/right
instead of up/down
as up is not always off, and down is not always on,
if you see what i mean!

Or is there a convention that all up means off?
