Switching lights from 3 locations


beddhist

Recommended Posts

I have wired a few lights with 2 switches, but now I have a location where I need 3 switches. I guess I need a DPDT switch in the middle with SPDT at either end. In Global House even getting a SPDT light switch is not easy. Staff didn't have a clue.

 

Plan B is push buttons with a latching relay, but that only got us blank looks. When I asked for relays all I got was the usual 'mai mee', even as I pointed at the rows of relays sitting in the display cases behind locked glass.

 

What is the 'correct' way of doing this and where can I get the bits?

 

Thanks,

Peter.

Thank you very much. That is very helpful. That diagram is exactly what I had in mind. I managed to download a brochure.

 

But, where did you find the diagram?

When looking for product info always try Google with part number or whatever info you have.

 

E.g. Google image search results using Panasonic part number for intermediate switch - WEG5004K + diagram

Thank you people. After wading through lots of Thai web sites and a few non-functional online shops I finally ordered the switch. You can tell it's a low-volume item: almost 400B for one.
