Im pretty confident doing most household jobs, and since you’ve started posting electrical tutorials… I’ve become confident in my electrical work too. Thank you.

This is a great video. It explains 2 way, 3 way and 4 way circuits very well and easy to understand.

Fantastic video and explanation. Very simple and clear cut for most part. I did have 1 question. When putting in a 4way...video shows 2 black screws on one side of the 4way switch. I know you did this for easy articulation, but the wires (2 travelers - black and red) coming from 1st 3way, do they need to find themselves to those 2 black common screws regardless or just to the same side of the toggle switch assy.even if brass and black are on same side with each other? Thanks for response in advance.

Not sure screw colors are standard in that case so I recommend looking at the diagram.

Is there a safe way to wire a pilot light so it's a night light mode when I've only got it a basic switch loop. my thought is to use something like Leviton 1221-PLC 20-Amp.

It is unfortunate you ended using the British system when talking to mostly U.S. audiences.
