The Best 4 Way Switch Explanation Ever!

In this video we take a deep dive into the 4-way switch. You will learn when a 4-way switch is used, how it operates, and a common mistake DIYers can make when selecting a 4-way switch. The video includes detailed instructions using a whiteboard along with helpful animations that will take the mystery out of the 4-way switch. I also explain the critical differences between a 4-way switch and a double-pole switch, which can be mistaken for a 4-way switch but operates completely differently. If you are not clear on how a 3-way switch operates, I recommend you view my "Best 3-Way Switch Explanation Ever!" video:    • The Best 3 Way Switch Explanation Ever!   Thanks for watching!
