i have two lights that i need powered by two different switches, they both get there power supply at the switch from one power source, how can i wire it so the one light doesn't need to be on in order for the other one to work?
you just need a constant suply of power. Many circuits in a line can have more than one switch operating more than one light like you want. Stop by you local home improvement stor and pick up a book on wiring. The $15 you spend will be a lot cheaper then the time you spend trying to figure it out on your own
