Picture this:

Top of the steps - 3-way switch, with power feed in and 3 conductor out.
3 conductor goes to bottom of stairs to 2nd 3-way switch. 2 conductor out to lighting fixtures.

Question - need to add lighting fixture at top of stairs. Can this new fixture be controlled by same set of 3-way switches?

Note - I only have access to the box/wiring at the top of the steps. Can't put the new light in the same series as the lights at the bottom of the steps due to pre-existing drywall.

To use the same light switch system the second light will have to be wired from the first light or the second switch. Power is in your first switch. Switch leg is in the second switch.

sorry
