(light operated from 2 different switches)?
In Australia this is called a two way switch,
Any idea's why you call this a three way switch ?
To us a three way switch,
would have three switchs,
also possible,
with the correct type of switchs used.
I think the reason is that there are three possible switch position combinations: both up, both down, or one up and one down (which are equivalent). Thus, there are three "ways" the switches can be flipped.Any idea's why you call this a three way switch ?
