Dec 6, 2023 at 19:04 comment added MonkeyZeus I think the 14/2/2 would allow me to use a switched hot for the lights starting from the left and there would be a live hot and neutral passed through the 4-way box till it's needed all the way at the fan switch. This should keep the loads balanced regardless of which switch is on or off.
Dec 6, 2023 at 18:31 comment added manassehkatz-Moving 2 Codidact Is it that much of real problem with 3 LED bulbs, probably less than 1/2 amp? Probably not. But it is a code violation and the issue is future changes that make use of existing stuff and then a little problem can become a BIG problem. Would 14/2/2 do it? Probably, but would have to think about the wiring quite a bit...
Dec 6, 2023 at 17:52 comment added MonkeyZeus I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you for the very informative answer. I completely overlooked the rule to balance neutrals. Realistically, is it a problem if the hot travelers are only carrying the current for 3 LED bulbs? Regardless, couldn't I remedy the situation if I replaced the 14/2 travelers with 14/2/2? This would allow me to remove power from the right box so that all switched power travels back to the left box; I think...
