I have installed many 3-ways and have no trouble with them.

However, I just installed 4 new recessed lights in my kitchen but when I turn them on they barely glow. All four light bulbs are on but barely. They are wired switch - lights - switch and the run from switch to switch is less than 25 ft. from switch to breaker is 20-25 ft.(ttl

Here's a link/diagram of how to deal with multiple lights

If all the lights are between the switches you need a 4 conductor cable to make them work. You probably only ran three conductor and they are wired in series.
Lets assume = is 3 conductor and - is 2 conductor. You have a couple of options.
sw1=L1=sw2 and L1-L2-L3-L4. Power could come into sw1,sw2 or L1
or sw1=sw2-L1-L2-L3-L4. Power could come into sw1,sw2 or L1
or sw1=sw2-L1=L2=L3=L4-power in. Power comes in at L4.

Is that your site, or one that you happened across?

Fantastic series of links/info posted there very DIY friendly...if its your own creation...Kudos.

Certainly one to add to the "favorites" list.

Thanks!

Physics Professor and "Chair" Rick Matthews has been on the web for a long time.......He's based at Wake Forest University in NC........

As a "teacher" he has that special ability to reduce the hard-to-understand to simple-as-pie.....as well as produce impressive graphic images (and teach HOW to do your own graphics)

The Multi-light-switch links are just an brief aside to the vast amount of information at his University website.......here's another link to some of his other pages:

Many Thanks, DougSiebert!

I've really enjoyed his pages. I agree, this Professor has talent!
