If your bored or like a challenge I thought (maybe wrongly) this might be interesting to trainees and maybe others. As the title convert three way switching to two way (Sw 2 + 3) [ElectriciansForums.net] Interesting three way conversion to two way and swap for time lag.

danlers time lag (Master and slave) using switch 2 and 3. Assume you cannot find the junction box. Can it be done? Note we have L in at switch 1, no accessible switch return. I included a couple of photos to give the ---- drawing some context. The switch return (green) is pure conjecture on my part, but it must be something along those lines. There is no switch return wire at any switch.

Agreed, now you can't (for the sake of argument and practicalities) get to the junction box. So I want to convert this to two way master and slave time lag switch. So usually L and Sw return to master and use two of the strappers for the slave. But the L is at switch one which is being gotten rid of. The answer is a nothing to do with this problem I might add. It is just a mind bender for trainees really, and hopefully they might think it can't be done will have to do something else which I did.

Nah the problem is sorted just thought I'd throw it out there for a bit of light entertainment. Lets just say it's thinking outside the box, or cutting the gordian knot. I just thought it might be good for trainees to have a think about as it's the sort of thing we come across all the time and have to think it through.
