2-way switch with one light with 1 Method wiring:
This diagram shows how to make 2 way switch with one light With 1 Method of Wiring. In this circuit, we use two 2-way switches and CFL lights. Here we need to connect all components like in our diagram. Now this circuit is ready for use. This circuit is very simple and easy to make. If you want to know more about this circuit please check our youtube video below the post.

Components used to make the 2-way switch with 1 light wiring:
01. Switch
Fig 2: Switch |
A Single-Pole, Single-Throw (SPST) Switch. It's Got one Output and One Input. The Switch will Either be Closed or Completely Disconnected. SPSTs are Perfect for on-off Switching. They're also a Very Common Form of Momentary Switches. SPST Switches are Commonly Used in a Variety of Electrical Circuits and Applications, Such as Turning on And off Lights, Fans, and Other Appliances. They can Also be Used to Control the Flow of Electricity to Different Parts of a Circuit or to Switch Between Different Circuits Altogether.
02. Light
Fig 3: Light |
CFLs work in a completely different way from ordinary lamps, they work by using a different process called fluorescence rather than generating light from heat. A typical light bulb wastes 90% of energy and converts only 10% of energy into light, this is where CFL has the biggest advantage. CFL- Curved or conical glass tube filled with argon and a small amount of mercury vapor. The inner wall of the glass is coated with fluorescent material. CFL- It is manufactured using the principle of creating fluorescent light. CFL- Originally white in color but now the construction and use of CFLs producing colored light has become popular.

Frequently Asked Questions
You would use a two-way light switch when you have two switches controlling one light, for instance in a hallway, where you have a switch at both ends of the hallway that controls the hallway light. You are able to switch the light on and off from either end of the hallway.
1-Way Switches: If a light switch is '1 way' this means it is just an on/off switch. This is the simplest type of switch that you can get. The single switch controls a single light (or lighting circuit). 2-Way Switches: A '2-way' switch means there is another switch controlling the same light.
To wire two single pole switches to the same light fixture, you will need to use a three-wire cable. The black and white wires will connect to the switches, and the red wire will connect to the light fixture.
So, whether you should opt for a one-way switch or a two-way switch is entirely your choice and needs. The one-way switch also called the single pole switch is effective in small rooms and for domestic electrical appliances. A two-way switch is apt for multi-door large rooms, stairways, and long corridors.
As a rule, we must always install 3-way switches in pairs, and then as many 4-way switches as necessary. For example, if a light is to be controlled from four different locations we would need two 3-way switches and two 4-way switches.
