I am putting up recessed lights which will be on a three way switch. Although I can figure out the wiring with one light, I seem to hit a mental wall with 5 in parallel. Help. I would rather not burn the house down…yet.

When running cable to a subpanel for a home addition, pay attention to the size of the wire and the amperage of the breaker.

IF you can do one then simply wire all of the recessed lights together properly (black to black, white to white, grounds to grounds) THEN treat the light closest to your three way switch as your ONE.
Another way to say the same thing. Wire one of the recessed lights into your three way switch system as you know how. THEN tie all the other lights into that one light.
