K here is my deal....
I ran 12/2 from my panel to a 3 way switch....then 12/3 to a ceiling light and then to another ceiling light then to a wall mounted 3 way switch....(hallway if you were curious).....
When I throw the switches...one light comes on...the second comes on for a brief second and then goes out (florescent lights).......
Red Wire..runs the entire distance from Switch to Switch.
Ground Does the Same...
The White Neutral is what the Lights are wired into both one after the other in sync and only with the 12/3 wire...neutral.
I realize that there are several ways to wire a 3 - Way switch configuation like this but I'm not sure if this problem is my wiring or just a bad flourcent light unit?
Anyone ever wired a Switch - Light - Light - Switch in this way with only 12/3 wire?
Thanks.....Jeff
