Because when two lights use the same battery, both lights need the same power to work, so the power has to split in half making the bulb's brightness dimmer.
Ridiculous. If the lamps are connected in series, they will be dim because half the available voltage is dropped across each lamp. In parallel, they will both have full brightness.
What else can I help you with?
Why are lights dim after the switch was replaced?
Because the juju has yet to be established in the new wiring. As soon as the juju takes hold, the light brightens. <<>> Recheck your wiring of the switch. It sounds like you may have wired two lights in series that may have been supplied from the one switch. Two lights from one switch have to be wired in parallel with each other.

When installing lights with 2-way and intermediate switching control the intermediate switch must be connected to the?
to wire a lamp to be controlled from three places you need two three way switches and one four way switch. the two traveller wires that would normally run between the two three way switches must be connected to the terminals of the four way switch
How many line conductors are installed between the switch and light fixture?
One. A typical "two way" ON-OFF light switch is a Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) switch with two terminals. It is wired in series with the fixture: that is, the power circuit is routed from the breaker to one side of the switch. The other side of the switch is connected to the "phase" or "power" terminal of the fixture. In a 115VAC single phase circuit, the other terminal of the fixture is connected to neutral. A "three way" switch circuit consists of two switches in different locations, each of which is a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch with three terminals. A typical use would have one switch at the top and the other at the bottom of a set of stairs. For the sake of clarity, we can label the "common" terminal on a SPDT switch the "C" terminal. This terminal is internally connected to one of the other two terminals, call them "A" and "B", depending of the position of the switch. A three way switch is connected with the circuit breaker connected to the "C" terminal on either switch. Conductors connect the "A" terminal on one switch the the "A" terminal on the other switch and the "B" terminal on one switch the the "B" terminal on the other switch. The remaining "C" terminal is connected to the "phase" or "power" terminal of the fixture. The other terminal of the fixture is connected to neutral. Note that, in either case, there is no neutral wire connected to the switch. Ground conductors do connect to the chassis of the switch box and the fixture, but they do not carry current and do not affect the operation of the circuit.
What does com mean on a light switch?
In a situation where there is only one switch controlling the light or lights you normally use a spst (single pole single throw) switch that has only two connection terminals. This type of switch either connects or disconnects the two wires that are connected to the switch's terminals depending upon the position if the switch lever. The com terminal on a light switch means that it is a three way or the kind of switch used where there are two or more switches that controll the same light or lights. The three way switch is a spdt ( single pole double throw) . If you look closely you will find this designation somewhere on the switch. On the spdt switch you have three terminals, a common and two branches. In one postiion the common connects to one branch and in the second position the common connects to the other branch. If you are trying to install this switch in a situation where there is more than one switch controlling the light you must have the ability to correctly identify the common wire; if you can't do that you need help from someone who can do that correctly.
You have three 3-way switches operating 3 ceiling lights you want each switch to operate each single light What do you do?
To have each switch operate a single light, a 3-way switch must be installed for each light. Each switch needs to be wired to its respective light, with one wire running between the switch and light fixture. This way, each switch will control the light it's connected to independently of the others.
On Silverado 2000 When the lights come on you have One Dim And One bright?
You probably have a bad ground on your "dim" light.
How can 2 lights be controlled by 2 switches using only 1 power source?
This can be achieved by using a three-way switch setup. The power source is connected to one switch, and then wires are run from that switch to the second switch and to the lights. This way, both switches can control the lights independently while using only one power source.

Does a 1982 Chevy S-10 have a dimmer switch?
Yes, the dash light dimmer switch is located next to the headlght switch. You rotate it one way and the lights dim out, rotate it the other way and they get brighter, keep rotating it that direction and the interior light comes on.
What will happen to lights connected in parallel when of the lights is busted?
Nothing will happen to the rest of the lights if they are connected in paralell. If they are connected in series when one light is broken all of the lights go out.
Draw a circuit diagram showing how the switches could turn 8 lights on and off but witch 1 switch?
To achieve control of 8 lights with a single switch, you can use a series circuit layout where all 8 lights are connected in parallel to a single switch. When the switch is closed, current flows through each parallel branch, turning on all the lights simultaneously. The switch can be placed at the beginning of the circuit, connecting the power source to all the lights. This configuration allows for simple control with just one switch to turn all lights on or off together.
Are bright lights and dim lights on the same fuse?
We are going to need to know the year, make and model to help you with that one.
Are the lights in your school connected in series current or parallel current?
Overhead lights are typically connected in parallel. If they were connected in series, then, if one light went out, all of the lights would go out. Think of Christmas lights, they are connected in series. When one of the lights burns out, the whole string of lights goes out.
How do you get two bright lights and one dim light without a resistor?
1. Use 3 lightbulbs, with a 3 way switch. 2. Use 1 3-way lightbulb with a 3 way switch. 3. Use a diode in series with one bulb to dim it. 4. Use a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) with a simple circuit to cut out a certain percentage of each AC wave.
How does one make the dome lights brighter in a 2010 Cadillac DTS?
To make the dome lights brighter in a 2010 Cadillac DTS, you can adjust the brightness using the instrument panel dimmer switch. This switch is typically located on the dashboard, near the headlight control. Turning the dimmer switch clockwise increases the brightness of the dome lights. Additionally, ensure that the bulbs are in good condition, as dim lighting can also be a result of burnt-out bulbs.
2000 dodge ram rear lights dim on one side?
2000 dodge ram wiring rear end tail ligts dim and right blinker works but very dim
You have on very dim headlight and one regular headlight it is the same on brights if you mess with the dimmer switch it will get bright but then your tail lights go off what is the problem?
I would check all the wiring first. Then, you should probably figure out if any lights need to be replaced. That's my guess.
