Default 15 vs. 20 Amp 3-Way Wall Switches

There is also a '4 way switch' . That is for more than 2 places to turn
on/off a light (or anything else). You usually put a 3 way switch at
each end of the circuit and as many 4 way switches in the middle as you
need.


It is essentially a DPDT (double pole, double throw) switch with 2 pairs
of terminals connected internally, so switching exchanges 2 connections.
