The switch simply opens (off) or closes (on) the connection between the two terminals on the switch. When the switch is on, current flows along the black wire through the switch to the light, and then returns to ground through the white wire to complete the circuit.

4-pin varients are for just plain lamps - (just like linear flourescents, a filament (electrode) at each end, two pins for each) - 2 pin types have a (usually glow-type) starter switch built-in - connected in series between the two filaments - so you only get the two 'outer' connections.

Lighting circuits are wired in two different ways, using either junction-boxes or loop-in ceiling roses. These days, the loop-in system predominates - though individual circuits often combine the two for the most economical use of cable.

There are three screw terminals on the body of the switch, in addition to the green grounding screw. One screw, known as the common, is a darker color than the others. The other two screws, usually a lighter brass color, are known as the traveler terminals.

Remember that one side of the common on the three way is the line side and the other common is the load side or switch leg. The two wires that connect between the 3-ways switches are carriers. If you have a 4-way it simply flips the carriers, two carriers in two carriers out.

An intermediate switch is a three way light switch. It is used when you have three or more switches controlling one light, the middle switch needs to be an intermediate light switch. ... On this circuit you would need the middle switch (eg the one at the top of the stairs) to be an intermediate switch.

A smart Wi-Fi light switch can control power with a smartphone app or a button on the wall. The switch is wired to the electrical system to control the flow of electrical power, and has a built-in Wi-Fi adapter to connect to the local network for communication with its smartphone app.
