Is there a diagram of wiring three lights to one switch with power at the light?

I assume that you have an un-switched Hot (Black) and neutral (White) power in a box where you want to put a light (1st light) and two other lights you want powered by a single switch. Run a Romex cable with Black, White and Bare lead (14 gauge for 15 A circuit or 12 gauge for a 20 A circuit) to the switch. At the powered light connect the black wires together with a wire nut.

Don't connect any light wire. At the switch connect the black wire you ran to one side of the switch and the white wire to the other side of switch and wrap black tape around the white wire to identify it as hot. Connect the bare wire to the green screw on switch At the 1st light connect the black wire from the switch to the black HOT power wire.

Wrap black tape on the white wire from the switch and connect to the black wire on the light and a Black wite to 2nd light and connect all these together with a wire nut. At the 1st light connect the White wire from power source to the white wire on the light and the white wire going to the 2nd light. Wire together all the bare wires in light 1 box At second light run a romex wire to 3rd light and connect all the black wires together (3 wires) and all white wires together (3 wires) and the three bare wires At the 3rd light connect 2 black wires together and the two white wires together.

Some older lights may have two black wires. If this is the case it doesn't matter which of the two light wires you designate as "White", just pick one.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
