What do you mean by 3 way switch lights?

A way to switch the lights so you can turn the barn lights on/off from the house.

What do you mean by 3 way switch lights?

So you can turn exterior lights off/on from either barn or house

Why bother with the three way switch? Just use motion sensor lights and have them come on when ever somebody walks outside of drives into the yard.

I've had to do some of my own wiring recently and it's been quite fun learning how it all works.

Yeah I asked about 3 way, think I am going to do motion....

Motion sensors are fine as long as you don't have critters wandering at night. I had one here but the deer would set it off every night so I swapped out for a conventional light.

Ordered some dusk to dawn, but they will be on switches as well.
