Hello. I would like to wire a 3-way switch to 2 fixtures but not in the usual way. I want to wire so that in one position one fixture is on and in the other position the other fixture is on. Doing this so that when the "main" lamp isn't on there's a low wattage LED bulb on. Doing this in a dark hallway. I actually know how to do this. Is it legal according to the NEC? Thanks.

Possibly Tim but it is after all a form of work and I don't do that any more

Besides I've given up on the notion of learning how to post a digram

@dalehileman,
So, I'll do it for you, and for Regisp:

Note that the resistor is calculated for a 120 V voltage and a 3mA LED consumption.
