Hello,
I was wondering i f anyone can give me some info as how to go about
the following. I need to extend an existing circuit with 3 additional
lights each on a single pole switch. The switches are going to be
placed in different locations in one room but I would like to wire
them in parallel, in other words, the source goes to one switch and
goes on to the following 2, without interrupting the power when I turn
off one of those lights. A diagram or instreuctions would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Is this what you mean? 3 lights, each controlled by a separate
switch? Or did you mean something else?
