Switch at end of circuit multiple lights. Pull a length of 142 nonmetallic electrical cable from your power source to the ceiling electrical box. 3 way switch diagrams for multiple light fixtures. The source is at sw1 and 2 wire cable runs from there to the fixtures. West works group inc 7 years ago. In this diagram the electrical source is at the first switch and the light is located at the end of the circuit. This diagram illustrates wiring for one switch to control 2 or more lights.
Black light wire in first box is nutted to 143 red wire. Three wire cable runs between the switches and 2 wire cable runs to the light. Turn off the circuit breaker providing power to the lighting circuit at the main breaker box. Just a ceiling electrical box with a circuit in it. Wiring diagram 3 way switch with light at the end. If three four or even more lights are required to be switched from a single source the new cable can be extended to as many lights as required.
So an end of run switch is the last component in the wiring of a circuit and in effect the wire feeding the switch is coming from the light fixture and not the other way around. It is true that there are several wiring configurations for wiring 3 way light switches and all of the wiring configurations will depend on where the incoming circuit power is located and once that is identified the rest of the three way wiring connections are straight forward. Step 2 this tutorial will explain the job as if there is currently no light fixture or switch installed in the room. Here the ceiling rose is shown with two cables both of which connect to line neutral and earth with no loop connection. The hot and neutral terminals on each fixture are spliced with a pigtail to the circuit wires which then continue on to the next light. One cable connects to the previous light the other continues to the next light.
This white wire should have black electrical tape on both ends to show it is being used as a black hot wire. If you have a known load the rule is 80 of the circuit breaker 08x1512 any switch will be rated at least 15a so running through one switch to feed all 4 of these light fixtures wont be a problem either. You can also do a home run configuration by feeding all the cables to the switch and connecting them with a pigtail. Second light black wire nutted to the 2 red3rd light black nutted to red and the white from the 142 to the switch. The black and red wires between sw1 and sw2 are connected to the traveler terminals. Multiple light wiring diagram.
The easiest way to connect multiple lights to one switch is to daisy chain the lights which means to connect them together and attach just one of the lights to the switch.
