I'm trying to wire up the lights on my patio. I have to run all the wires before I seal up the celing.
I have 8, 50w ceiling mounted lights.
I want to have a dimmer switch outside, and another inside. The 2 switches that I have are 3way dimmer switches.
I wired the 8 lights with 14g 2wire with ground
A new circuit is being pulled from the breaker box.
Do I need to run the new source wire to one switch,
From each of the dimmer switches - a 3 wire to the loop that I made to the ring of the 8 lights?
What am I missing or what's needed?

Congrats on the addition... to the house that is. I know that Eric and I are glad we had the steel roof extended over the patio. And I think Bella and Tank are in agreement as well.
Just let me know.. making ride to SAR on Saturday morning.

3 lights per fan = 6 total . . . on a 2 way switch
8 lights 50w each on 2, 3-way dimmers (can't figure out the diagram)
2 random plugs will be added for small stuff like Christmas lights
1 quad to be added for SAT TV, small 4.1 sound system, and 32-42" TV
