Pilot light switch wiring diagram. Pilot light is on when switch is on. The wiring connections for a pilot light switch so you can see it in the dark or when its on most pilot light switches require the power source to be at the switch box such as your application. Wiring a pilot light switch in terms of electrical connections the only difference between a conventional switch and one with a pilot light is the presence of a single silver terminal on the pilot switch. Inspiring 3 way switch with pilot light diagram. Image of new 3 way switch with pilot light diagram. Common feed single line hot single pole switch controls lights.
Wiring a 3 way light switch is certainly more complicated than that of the more common single pole switch but you can figure it out if you follow our 3 way switch wiring diagram. The source is at sw1 and 2 wire cable runs from there to the fixtures. Wiring diagram 3 way switch with light at the end in this diagram the electrical source is at the first switch and the light is located at the end of the circuit. This diagram illustrates wiring for one switch to control 2 or more lights. The lighted pilot light may need the neutral wire for the operation of the pilot light. The hot and neutral terminals on each fixture are spliced with a pigtail to the circuit wires which then continue on to the next light.
Three wire cable runs between the switches and 2 wire cable runs to the light. This is for connecting the light not the switch to the neutral leg of the circuit that powers the fixture.
