Hello everyone, I'm currently planning to rebuild both my 120 volt and the 12 volt lighting circuits on my house boat. I've got all new LED puck lights and I'm wondering is there a way to wire a group of lights to 3 separate switches like you can with 120volt 4 way lighting circuit?

Thanks

Yes you can. Just use 4 way home switches and wire it up just as though they were 120 volt lamps.

I thought about that but I don't think there would be a way to have them on dimmers. Or would I use the negitive as if it were the white common wire?

Sorry I misspoke there. I meant to say the neutral wire not the common.

Line - positive voltage
Neutral = Ground
