ᐅ Intermediate switch circuit with 2 switches?

Hello everyone,

a question about electrical wiring.

I have 3 lights that I want to control from 3 different locations.
So, a four-way switch setup.

There are switches with two rocker switches. Is it possible to achieve this setup with only 2 switches?

1 switch with two rockers and
1 switch with a single rocker

?

Or do switches with two rockers not work if you have a four-way / intermediate switch setup?
I want to know if I can save one switch, or if I actually need 3 switches.

Thanks!

Yes, that should work. However, the two-gang switch (the one with two toggles) cannot be your intermediate switch but will function as a regular two-way switch. A crossover circuit means 2 two-way switches and 1 intermediate switch.

There are three spots. One of them is only about 3cm (1 inch) away from another...

Okay, thanks, I think I understand now.

The crucial point was that one of the two-way switches is simply a double rocker intermediate switch.

Thanks

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. Do you want to control 3 lights simultaneously from 3 different switches? Or do you want to control 2 lights from 2 switches plus 1 additional light? What does the intermediate switch have to do with this?

I have 3 light fixtures and 3 locations where I can switch ALL 3 lamps individually.
