- Larry, it all depends on the wiring that is found in the 4-way switch box that you want to wire the outside light to.
- The wiring will need to be tested and identified to see if there is a hot and neutral, or that the power source starts at the 4-way switch box.
- Generally, the power source starts at either one of the 3-way switch boxes or up at the fixture.
