Two lights between 3 way switches (power via a light)

The power for the circuit joins the light fixture F1 via the cable C5. The neutral connects to the light (LT1) and is spliced through to LT2 via the cable C4. The hot from the power source is spliced through to the common terminal of the switch (SW1) via cable C1.
