Basic Electrical Circuit using Circuitikz

Question

I would like to know the basic syntax to draw an electrical circuit. I would like to reproduce this circuit:

My circuit contains two switches (node[spdt]{}), one battery (battery1) and one light (lamp). My biggest issue is that I am not able to connect my component together at the right place. Also, I need to create a special intersection (pink and orange). I drew my circuit on a grid to help me to place correctly my different elements. Would it be possible to explain the syntax to correctly join my components and to guide me with the coordinate?

Answer 1

Note: Since this is a do-it-for-me question and no MWE was provided, I am not likely to entertain further questions regarding this. I did this for my own exercise.
