  Wiring a stairway switch is actually very easy you pretty much just need two wires going from one switch to another and then a light

    I was gonna say lol that’s a fancy way of describing three-ways

    Fun fact, you can put as many 4-ways in between those 3-ways as you want, or as many as your electrician will agree to anyway. You can switch the same light from a dozen spots if you really want to.

      “The light won’t turn off! Now to hunt down the ONE SWITCH in the house that’s flipped…hnngg…”

      Troll electricianship would be hilarious entertainment.

    I understand it now, but I’ll have it forgotten in five minutes. I’m a software engineer, this here is dark magic to me. Well, not this, but more complicated stuff. I envy you all for your big, juicy brains.

      Oh, I am no electrician. I work in IT.

      Being an electrician would be pretty high on the list of things to do if I weren’t allowed to work in IT though. Seems fairly fun.

        That’s at least magic I understand kind of 😅
