Flip one of the switches, and leave it on for several minutes then flip it back off. Then flip a second switch and enter the room. The bulb for the first switch will be hot, the second will be on and the third will be off.
turn them all on.........Golly gee live a little
turn two switches on, then after 5 or 10 minutes, turn one of those switches off
when you go and check the bulbs, one will be on, one will be off and cold, and one will be off and warm
turn one switch off go back in the room see witch one is off and you know wich one that switch goes to. then switch the it back on and another one off. then you will know what bulbs go to what switch.
