I am installing 4 recessed step lights and want 2 way switches to control the circuit. How do I wire the last light to the switch at the end of the circuit. I am using 14/2 wire between lights and 14/3 from the switch to the light.

Jeff,

There should be a diagram in the instructions with one of the 3 way switches.

You need a hot leg going to one of the switches. The other switch gets the leg (wire) going to the first light. The other lights should be ganged to the first light.

Then you need two seperate wires (travellers) going between the switches. The diagram should show were to hook the travellers and the hot leg and the light leg.

Just make sure you use seperate wires, DO NOT use the neutral (white) for any hook ups. If you are using Romex make sure you ground everything as well.

I hope this helps.
