    This document describes how to wire a circuit to control a single lamp from two different locations, such as at the top and bottom of a staircase. The circuit uses two single pole, double throw switches connected in parallel. When one switch is flipped up or down, it will turn the lamp on or off regardless of the other switch's position. Wiring diagrams and testing procedures are provided to illustrate the setup and verify its functionality based on the switch positions. The circuit can also be used to control a fan and light from two places by connecting the appropriate devices instead of just a lamp.

    A Lamp Controlled from Two Places

    Aim
    To make an electrical circuit for a single lamp/fan/any other electrical
    appliance controlled from two different places, wire and test the circuit for
    staircase application.

    Accessories Required
    Insulated PVC wire (1/20), PVC pipes, PVC Junction boxes, GI clamps (C-
    type), Screws, SPDT electrical switch, Bulb holder/Ceiling-rose.

    Tools required
    Screwdriver, cutting-plier, Pocket-knife, Hammer, Poker, Scale and,
    electrical tester with neon indicator.

    Theory
    In some cases for convenience of usage, a single lamp has to be controlled
    from two or more places; for instances in the stairway lighting a single lamp
    intended to illuminate the staircase has to be switched on or off from the
    landings on either end; such two way switches are shown in the figure.

    One conductor from phase is connected to the common terminal of one


    switch while that of the other is connected to the lamp. Two intermediate
    wires connect the two switches. To switch the light on or off, it is only
    necessary to change the position (UP-DN/DN-UP) any one of the switches,
    irrespectively of the position of the other switch.

    It is also possible to control a lamp from three points for which case special
    type intermediate switches are used.

    Procedure
    Wiring layout as in Fig.2 is drawn on the wooden board using chalk.
    The PVC junction boxes, and PVC pipes are connected as per layout
    diagram.
    The pipes are fitted to the board at regular intervals using GI clamps
    and screws.
    Wires are connected to accessories such as SPDT switches and lamp
    holders as per the wiring diagram.
    Switches and the holders are fitted to respective junction boxes using
    screws.
    The circuit is ready to test and verify the operation using the truth table.

    Result
    The staircase wiring using a lamp controlled from two different places is
    wired for the given layout. The wiring is simulated and tested, and the
    control of lamp is verified by ON/OFF, indicated by current 0.01/53mA; by
    shade Dark/Bright respectively and as given in figures (4-7) and table 1. The
    simulation results are included as screenshots edited and presented in
    Fig.4-Fig 7. To change the status of the lamp i.e ON to OFF or OFF to ON
    change the status of the switch from UP to DN or DN to UP from any of the
    two places.

    Quiz:
    Can we use this for bedroom?
    If yes, how do you identify the two places where the switches are
    proposed to be kept?
    How do you use this wiring to control A Fan and Light from two
    places?
