- Turn on a switch and leave it for some ten minutes. Turn it off, turn a second one on and open the door and go into the room. The glowing bulb corresponds to second switch.

- Turn first switch on for a few minutes. Then turn it off, immediately turn second switch on and immediately open the door and go into the room. The glowing bulb corresponds to second switch(presently on). The hot bulb belongs to switch one(just turned off) as it got heated while it was switched on. The cold bulb belongs to third switch(yet to be turned on).
