My lamp only has two prongs, will the switch still work with it?

Sure, the third prong is optional. Mine is in use with a two pronged lamp and it works great.

Yes, my lamp is two prong and works just fine. I'm an electrical engineer who specializes in safety and there is not a problem using a polarized (two prong) lamp plug in the grounded (three prong) receptacle.

I believe any two prong plug will work in a 3 prong receptor, just not the other way around, i.e., a three prong plug will obviously not work in a 2 prong receptor. The third prong is merely a ground. So it's up to you if you feel it's safe.

PS - As a matter of fact, the lamp I have plugged into it, has only 2 prongs.

Yes. This is how I have mine setup. The power goes to the z-wave switch and then to the outlet where the lamp is plugged in. Just be sure that there is a white wire (neutral) in the box where you will place the new switch.

If I understand the question, I don't believe it will. My unit has only two prongs.

It has a 3-way switch on it. You can use a regular bulb but it will still cycle through the 3-way switching. Your bulb probably won't light on the first click, then will turn on on the second, and it will take two more clicks to turn it off. It doesn't affect that lamp that I know of but you are probably paying something extra for the 3-way feature.

it only has one cord and it is long so it should not be a problem putting it as a swag lamp. They sell the toggle switch at home improvement stores. If you have difficulties splicing it together bring it to a lamp repair shop and they will do it for you.

I am not sure if it will work the way you want it to. I am using it as a dimmer switch for a lamp.

This Westinghouse Lamp Kit is not a 3 way kit. The switch is a slide switch and not a turning 3 way switch.

There are two switches. One for the lower lamp and one for the upper lamp on the floor lamp I purchased.

NO , sorry you will have to push 2 buttons. You could, if you really wanted to, wire the two lamps together. Also note these are too big to use 2 on one outlet , you have to use a power strip. These are well made and work very well. I have 6 , one by itself, 5 on one remote (5 buttons) sitting next to my recliner and I love them. Hope this helps.

After it is connected to another plug with the power plug spliced in - so no, not directly - see the prongs on the end ? Also check to see the number of prongs are the same - they are different depending in the color of the lights

If the KC light switch has three male prongs it should work the same, considering the proper wires are attached to proper terminals.

I use this switch in my workshop with cheap shop lights. Those lights have two 40 Watt fluorescent lights and an ordinary ballast. The switch always works.

You require a three-pole switch. If it doesn't say "three-pole" it won't work for your use.

If the lamps you put in it are dimmable, then yes. It is just two light sockets in a housing.

It works for two lamps. Both are switched from a single switch however. You could theoretically use it for a single lamp if you wanted to. I hope that helps.

Yes it should, as long as the bulb is dimmable and I believe there is a wattage minimum for the switch to work. So you may need multiple LEDs tied into the switch. Like how a bathroom light has multiple bulbs. (Not sure what the minimum wattage per switch is, I've read it somewhere but haven't ran into that problem as I only use halogen bulbs so far).

The switch fits very tightly into the lamp. The wires need to be placed to the side of the switch. If the threaded part of the switch is too large for the hole them you need to enlarge the hole so it fits .
