    I feel silly, but I have ALWAYS been clueless with electrics. Can anybody throw me up a quick pic of how to draw a circuit with two bulbs, 2 switches. Each switch controls one bulb. I can't even get to the point where I know if it should be a series or parallel circuit. And yes, I have been on Google two hours. I just have zero aptitude for the subject.

    Cheers

    I am guessing you need one switch and one bulb in parallel with the other switch and bulb so if no switches closed the is no circuit buy if one switch closed that bulb completes a circuit
