Outside Lighting
Steve:
S I currently have an outside light with a single pole switch, what I want to S do is install another outside light over the garage in series with the S existing light and switch and also add another switch in the garage to S control both lights. S S I have found some schematic on the web but I want to sure before I attempt S this that I have the correct information. I believe what I'm installing is S the typical circuit that you would have for a hallway light that is S controlled by two switches. S S Any info would be great. Nope: you're going to have to add another wire to act as the 'traveller" for the three-way switch circuit. As this is probably going to be more of a bother than it's worth you might want to look into wireless controllers such as X-10's. Radio Shack offers some basic X-10 devices; you can also check at x10.com and smarthome.com - ¯ barry.martinþATþthesafebbs.zeppole.com ® * HORATIO: Numerical relation of hookers to clients. --- þ RoseReader 2.52á P003186 þ The Safe BBS þ Bettendorf, IA 563-359-1971 --- þ RIMEGate(tm)/RGXMod V1.13 at BBSWORLD * |

X-10 was a very prolific spam supporter early on when I made myself the promise I would never buy their product and would spread the word at every opportunity. There are better, more reliable manufacturers out there than X-10, as in, anyone. Just my two pence Pop |
