Good try, but they're not three way switches they are SPDT switches.

That technical jargon makes a three way switch sound like rocket science.

I'm sick of this blood bath.

GO TO THE STORE. LOOK AT THE SINGLE POLE DOUBLE THROW SWITCHES. LOOK AT THE BOX THEY COME IN. THEY ARE CLEARLY NAMED 3 WAY SWITCHES. ITS A UNIVERSAL NAME IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. A SINGLE POLE DOUBLE THROW TOGGLE SWITCH OR A DECORA STYLE SWITCH OR A DIMMING STYLE SWITCH THAT YOU CAN USE TO CONTROL A LIGHT FROM 2 LOCATIONS IS CALLED A 3 WAY SWITCH. IWIRE KNOWS MORE ABOUT THIS TRADE THAN YOU DO. NOTHING TECHNICAL ABOUT IT

Just because you say it, and maybe you even believe it, does not make it so.

Provide a link to some outside source that backs you opinion up.

Here is another link that backs my view up.

This thread was dead for two weeks, you brought it back to life.

Interesting you linked to a University of Kentucky Entomology site. I happen to know Michael F. Potter personally. He is a former colleague of my father who is a retired entomologist from UK.

His work was referenced here:

You're a little sesitive is the word please offending you?

I'm not sure what sesitive is but believe you meant sensitive.

Anyway, the word please doesn't offend me. You don't seem to want to take any advice from others on this forum even though you were the OP. I got your hostility from reading the entire thread including your posts.

Still interesting how the link was found.

Someone had better tell Cooper, Leviton, Pass & Seymour, GE, Eagle, Slater......

Eagle = Cooper

Slater = Pass and Seymour

GE (wiring devices) = dead and gone

Do you mean the thread OP (rick boyd) or just this latest portion?

Should have said latest portion (LP) since this thread was just recently started again after a time lapse. So -the latest portion.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Call it what you like, but thats what it is.

How come you get to make the rules?

He is using the rattus rule (see #116).

 

[mivey]

It takes 2 SPDT switches to make one "Three Way Switch"

Then answer #136

Can't right now. My girl friend is going to do a favor for me in a few minutes.

Don't ask your girlfriend what a three-way is, she may have a different opinion of it than yours.
