Morning,
I have a hallway with three overhead lighting fixtures controlled by two 3 way switches, one switch at each end of the hall.
I'd like to be able to control one of the lights independently from each end of the hall. My thought is that I could just add another 3 way switch to each end of the hall. This would give me the original switch that controls all three lights currently and the new switch that would just control the single light.
Now the problem is that I'm not sure what to do from here. I have the extra switch, but I'm not sure where to start.
Thanks,
richard

Won't work. It's not that simple.
You might want to consider doing a 4-way.
Go to http://www.handymanwire.com/articles/3wayswitch.html
to see how to do that.
Otherwise, best to simply add a single new light on it's own switch.
