I have a large closet (storage space), with two entry doors. Since this space is in the basement, I would like to control the lights in the closet using closet light switches, which turn the lights off when the door is closed.
My question is, how to do this with two doors entering the closet. I want the lights on when either door is open, and the lights off when both doors are closed.
From a schematic perspective, this is quite easy: wire the switches in parallel on the hot leg of the supply wire.
However, it's unclear to me how this would be done from an electrical code perspective. Any thoughts?
