Can a switch only toggle 1 item? I have 3 lights and can only connect one to a switch. I would like the switch to turn on all of the lights.

You should be able to connect up to 8 (or more?) to one trigger object. So, connecting a single switch to three lights should easily work:

I think your problem is your second light's Behavior is set to the Flicker Light behavior. That behavior is not meant to be able to turn on/off. It's just for making a light continuously flicker. You should use the Toggle Light Behavior instead.

Toggle Light Behavior is not working at all. I heard if you replace the Toggle Light Behavior script it will work. Rather than dloading everything... can someone send me the script? Please.

After looking into this... when I place the lights, they seem to located at the wrong x,y,z coordinates. See this video. Could this be the issue?

I'm thinking something is wrong with the initial placements of my lights... see video.

No. The initial placement of lights is a bug that is known and reported on GitHub. That has nothing to do with the switches working or not. I get it, too.
