I have a staircase about 25 feet long with two recessed lights (one up top, the other at the bottom). Each light is on its own 3-way switch, which is ridiculous.
I want to combine the lights so that one 3-way switch controls both lights.
I tried to wire it up so that each corresponding wire was paired and connected to the single switch, but the lights just stayed on indefinitely. I switched one of the travelers and same thing.
Outside of trial and error (which I don't want to do), I'm at a loss for what to do to fix this.
Each recessed light only has a black and a white wire.
Each switch has all 4, but one of them has what looks like a gray wire instead of a second black for the power supply.
Thanks in advance.
