[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 13770, member: 250"] Yep.. thats about it... the fundamental principal as KME says. is that the Int' switch must swap the two strapper wires from the normal two-way arrangement over when it switches.. :D So in one mode:- L1 at sw1 is joined to L1 at sw2 and L2 at sw1 is joined to L2 at sw2 In the other mode:- L1 at sw1 is joined to L2 at sw2 and L2 at sw1 is joined to L1 at sw2 [I]{the only other minor bit is the intermediate switch may not identified with L1's & L2's}[/I] ;) Just to add with this arrangement you can put more intermediate switches at any other points along the stapper wiring to create.. four way, five way, six way... etc.. switching! :) :) [/QUOTE]
