The other way I would do it, which would be my preferred method if all the wires weren't already there, is to invest in these Lutron Maestro Dimmers: Join this marked wire to the black wire of the lighting conduit, then join the white neutral wire of the light to the neutral from the panel. Take the white wire from the traveller conduit, and mark it with black tape (remember it's really a "hot" wire).
Back at the box that has the panel, light and traveller conduits, connect the panel's hot wire (should be black) to the common terminal of the switch, and the black and red wires of the traveller to the non-common terminals.Now, connect this wire to the "common" terminal. This marks the wire as being "hot" despite the actual insulation color. So, take some black or red (it MUST be one of those two colors black is easier) electrical tape and wrap a length around the end of the insulation of the white wire. In this case, however, it must carry the "hot" potential from the combination of the two switches. The white wire is, by code, normally the neutral "return path".On the remote switch (the one without the power OR light run), put the red and black wires on the two terminals other than the "common".Run a 2-conductor (+ground) Romex wire to the light (again, if already there, great).Run a 3-conductor (+ground) Romex wire out to the other switch location.
