Ok so you have 3 light bulbs up in an attic. You are downstairs and there are 3 switches. You are only allowed to go up to the attic once. How can you tell which switch switch goes to which light bulb?

  1. Hire an electrician to do it for you, and also install the clapping on lights!


  2. go up first and take a bulb out

  3. when the three lights plus three switches where installed they where done so that light 1 was controlled switch 1  light 2 by switch 2  light three by switch  3 and depending  on what section you where going to you would turn what  switch or switchs where needed.   If you where going to number three area you turn 1 and 3 2 stay off because the lights from 1and 3 gives enough light pass Thur area without falling but not enough to search that area

  4. Ask a friend to come over then go up into the Attic. Ask them to tell you which won they turn on. Then do the same 2.

  5. Turn on TWO of the switches and wait about 15 minutes...

    Turn off ONE switch and go upstairs.

    The bulb that is lit matches up to the switch you left on...

    The bulb that is off and WARM matches up to the switch that was on, but was turned off...

    The bulb that is off and cold matches up to the switch you never touched.

  6. on one switch.

  7. trace the wires

  8. Connect all bulbs to one switch
