Lights not turning on until the 3rd or 4th try
I have three light fixtures controlled on 2 three way light switches, when I turn on the light switch two lights come on for an instant then turn off, I repeat this and after the third or fourth time all three lights come on. What have I done wrong?

When I had three of the same light fixture types the all three came on but flickered a bit with one switch, the middle light never came on with the other switch. When I replaced the 1st light fixture with a strip light (over my work bench area) this issue arose

Tip: When wiring in new switches before removing the old switch mark the wire connected to the common terminal. Remember you can not go by the position of the common terminal on the old switch. Position may be different on the new switch. The common will be the odd colored screw (not green), usually dark gray.
