Hi There, not certain if I'm in the right place but here I go ! I have 4 LED ceiling (4 X 9 watts, 110 V AC) lights that are currently working on a 3 way regular 3 pole switche configuration. I want to make a change by installing push button switches on a plaque that will be installed on the bed's backboard. I'm not able to find a 3 way push button switches. My question is, is it possible to wire up qty 2, 2 pole switches in a way to make them work as a 3 way switch. If so how to I connect them together? Thanks.

Have you looked at a grid type of Qlik?
 
I don't think you mean '3-pole' switch. There are 3-pole switches but they are not the same as 3-way, and are not needed to control a light from two locations. A 3-way light switch is a changeover switch with three connections, that switches the common connection from one of the two traveler wires to the other.

Is this anything like what you are looking for?
