[QUOTE="winsoe, post: 493016, member: 32395"] I have unscrewed two fixtures. Both of them have only two wires. None of the lights works. I searched the net and found at least three different ways of connecting an intermediate switch but the one you showed uses the least amount of wire as one of the 2-way switch is six meters to the left and the other ten meters to the right of the intermediate switch. Oh, I didn't see how the contractor worked but I do know that after the work was finished, the light, which has nothing to do with the hallway lights, in the next room did not work. When the switch was flipped on, both the incoming and outgoing wires were live but light just didn't work. It turned out one of the neutral was not connected correctly (by the contractor). [/QUOTE]
