THERE is a big difference in a 3 way switch and a 3 way fixture. a 3 way switch means u can turn on hallway lights from this side of the hallway and u can go to the other side of the hallway and another switch will turn them off or on.
3 way switch= 1 light that is controled by 2 or more switches.......... didnt use google for that. but hey who can trust a pothead electrcian ? thats why we need people like u to double check thingshell u had me googlin shit for a min. there! till i relized we were talkin bout 2 different things. keep up the good work there are alot of folks on here who do just
shit out their mouth.
yeah, this is one of those things that can cause confusion, unfortunately the terms get tossed around interchangeably
but the 3 way you describe, that is fine, 3 way fixture bad, at least for regular cfl's, +rep for setting things clear
