Subject - 3-way wiring
FLHelman I'm new so I apologize if this has been covered before. I want to put the kitchen lights on a switch that can turn off from two sides of the room. Someone mentioned 3-way wiring. Can you please tell me how to wire the ceiling lamps so I can shut them off from either side of the room. How many wires are needed, colors, etc.

thanks!
JimmyDee Here are two links to diagrams for 3 way switches. I would like to welcome you to the forum and hope we can help you out.
