@moorea,
Quote: I connect each light switch(L1 & L2 connections) to both a neutral and live wire, then connect the outgoing single COM of each SPDT switch to one of the 2 connections on the lamp!
OK, but how do you run the wires from the COM to the lamp?
Cables come with white (for neutral), black (for hot) and bare wires. In this case, lets talk with color of wires because in a three way switch neutral and hot can be used with black or white wiring.
You connect from source white and black to L1 and L2. From L1 and L2 one cable will run to the other switch white and black to L1 and L2.
You have one COM in one switch, and another COM in the other switch.
From here, from one of the switches one single wire (white or black) will go to the lamp, same with the second switch.
It sounds fine as long as these single wires are not running inside the wall, because AC current must be run in cables with proper insulation approved by UL. So far, you must use a pipe or a mold to protect the single wires coming from the COM of both switches, and that is more work.
Stumble It!
