Three way switches are used anytime when lights are controlled by two different switches. For example  the switches  at the top  and  bottom of the stairway are both three ways.

This is the first of a series of tutorials on switches. If you like this video then you may want to take a look at  my Four-Way Switches &  How They Work.
