How do you hook up a light and switch from an existing light?
Add a light to switch from a different circuitI think here your concern is that you don't want change the performance of the circuit to which you add the light.so you have to use a relay or a solid state relay to the circuit and a separate power supply to the light in compliance with all the safety rules.
What can cause 1 light to dim when 3 others in the room are ok the light works from its own 2 way switch?
The switch sounds like it might be arcing. Switches are inexpensive, change it out with a new one. With the power off and the old switch removed check the connections in the switch junction box for loose splices or burnt wire nut connectors. If everything is fine there check the light junction box for loose connections.
What type of prewire for a ceiling fan light?
The pre wire for a ceiling fan light should be made with a three wire cable. This cable will have a red, black, and white wire as main conductors. This cable will also have a bare ground wire. This wire should be strung between a two gang switch box to the fixture junction box. This pre wire allows the supply to be either fed to the two gang box. From the two gang switch junction box, one side will be used for the light in the fixture and the other side of the switch junction box, itwill be used for the fan portionin the fixture.

How do you add another porch light to an existing switch?
Piggyback off the box for the existing light. Run a wire from the existing junction box to a new junction box (which is placed wherever you want the new fixture). Then, in the existing box, connect the wire coming from the switch, the wire for the existing fixture, and the wire for the new fixture together using wire nuts. Wire up the new fixture, and presto, you have two fixtures on a switch where there was only one before.
Can you connect a wall switch and a light fixture to an existing light fixture?
If the question is, can I wire a switch to an existing light fixture (and I must assume that it's something like a pull-chain light fixture), the answer is yes.If the question is, "how do I wire a switch to an existing light fixture that has no external switch", the answer is, "in series".The attached web site gives simple instructions on how to wire a basic light switch to an existing light.See sources and related links below

Can same switch box be provided for power and lighting in a house?
Yes this is done all the time in house wiring. The power source is brought to a light switch's junction box. The source for the light is taken through the switch to turn the light off and on. The same source feeder is then taken to receptacle junction boxes to power devices that have to be plugged in.
How do you switch the wiring from a regular light switch with three wires to a spring wound interval timer with only two wire spots?
If there are three current carrying conductors terminated on the switch you want to replace, then you can not use the new switch at this location. What it sounds like is the existing switch is part of a three way light switching circuit. Check online for images of "wiring of three way switching systems" and you will see what I mean.A regular light switch will only have two termination points on the switch. This type of switch could be a direct substitute for the interval timer switch, as both have only two terminal points.The only way that you could use the new switch in this circuit is to cut in a new junction box for the new switch adjacent to one of the existing light switch boxes. One end of the circuit would use the new switch for opening the incoming "hot" conductor or at the other end of the circuit, the new switch would open the conductor that goes to the light (load). If this method is used the existing switches will not be used for controlling the light and must be in a position so that the light will be always in the on position.If the three way switching is not needed then the existing switches can be removed and the wiring in the boxes can be rewired to accommodate the new switch and the other box would be blanked off.
