You have 2 lights in 2 different rooms that each work off each wall switch and they are not hooked up as a 3 way switch?

Can anyone tell me why? I rewired the upstairs and I know it is correct. It is an old house that had the knob and tube wiring. Alot of the rooms are on one circuit as I havent had time to split them up. The 2 upstairs bedrooms, 1 downstairs bedroom, Living room, dining room and bathroom (light only) are on the same circuit. However, only the 1 upstairs bedroom and the light in the bathroom are affected. If I turn either of the light switches on, it turns both lights on. If I turn the bathroom light on, the light in the bedroom comes on and does not shut off with the bedroom switch, no matter if the switch is in the on or off position. The same goes for the opposite, cant turn off the bathroom light when the bedroom light switch is on. The bathroom light still has the old knob and tube wiring as I havent gotten that far in the wiring process and so does the downstairs bedroom, however, I cant figure out why the only 2 lights affected are the 1 bedroom upstairs and the bath if all of the other lights act normal. There is only 1 main power feed to all the upstairs Would it be because there is no ground wire on the bathroom light fixture? Its just 12-2 to a junction box and the knob and tube wires are spliced to it in there.

Why do you use ceiling lights that give off white light?

how many rooms are allowed on one lighting circuit?
Unless you do not have enough space in the service panel it is always a good idea to have each room on it's own circuit. If you want to put 2 rooms on a circuit just make sure those 2 rooms do not overload the circuit and wire it for a 20 amp circuit. Two bedrooms with 8 outlets each and 1 light each is about all you would want on the circuit. I would never put 3 rooms on the same circuit.

When a home circuit breaker opens the lights in some rooms go off but the lights in some rooms stay on. Explain why.?
The circuit breakers in a panelboard feed separate circuits. The lights that stay on are on a different circuit than the ones that go off. To fine the circuit that feeds the lights that stay on, go to the panelboard and turn off the breakers one by one until the lights go out. This is the circuit that feeds that circuit of lights. Remember that lights and receptacles can be on the same circuit together.

Are you wanting to reconfigure it to work this way, or does it currently work in this manner? To reconfigure it, it will take quite a bit of rewiring, depending on whether the rooms are adjacent or not. The wiring method is not terribly difficult. Getting the wires to and from the switch can be cumbersome though.
