Can you use this unit with a 3-way lamp (and a 3-way bulb)? If so, will it be able to dim the lamp?

The lamp needs to be powered up to be controlled by the dimmer...so if it is in full on mode, the dimmer will switch and control that..if the lamp is switched to medium then the dimmer will control that... It should work.

The Insteon Lamplic will dim any lamp with a dimmable bulb. If you set the three way bulb to its brightest setting, then the LampLinc can dim it over the full range of brightness. The LampLinc will not switch the three way bulb from the three light levels of the bulb.

Yes thus will dim a 3 way bulb. Just turn the lamp on to the brightness you want and then use the Insteon controller to control on-off and brightness

If you are talking about these lamps, just tap the lamp and it has a 3-way bulb. If you are talking about a different light, you will need a dimmer switch in the wall like for a light hanging over your table.All I can tell you. These lamps worked great for me.

I haven't seen anything on the lamp itself that could be a dimmer. I think if it were plugged into an outlet with a dimmer switch that would work.

I'm using it to control my front porch light which has an LED bulb, and it works great for that. If by "3 way" you mean, 3 different light settings for a single bulb (such as 50w, 100w & 150w), probably not (although it should work for a single setting). If you mean a single light controlled by 2 separate switches, I don't know but would doubt it.

I don't see why not. The way it works is like you left the lamp on but unplugged it before you went to bed, then slowly turned up a dimmer switch. So I wouldn't expect a fluorescent bulb to work since they don't dim. I think a three way bulb would just only come up to the level that you left the lamp set to. Mine is on a lamp with a three way switch, but I ran out of those bulbs. Works great, so you can do that if the bulb doesn't work.

Yes you should be able to use a 3 way, but I never tried. This turns a normal lamp into a dimmable lamp. I have several and LOVE them. Even the fact that you can place the control where you want it make a difference. No more reaching up into the lamp to turn it on.

The lamp uses a fluorescent bulb so you can't dim it. It can be set on a timer to be on or off though. To have a dimmable light, you would need something like a standard tungsten bulb, a halogen bulb, or an LED source.

You can use it in a three way socket, but it will not work as a three way bulb. It will only light at it's full light level.

No, PacLights Ultra series LED light bulbs can not be used on 3-way sockets. and they do not work with dimmers.

Only if the bulb you are using is dimmable. This socket only extends to existing socket about 1.5 inches and has no effect on dimming whatsoever.

Yes; that is how I am using this in two different rooms. And that should be the only 3way setup. 2 dimmers would not work correctly.

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.

I have a floor lamp with a 3-way bulb plugged into one of the outlets but I have it on the setting I prefer to use with the remote. You can't change it with the remote. If you want less or more light you have to physically do it.

Yes it will work inplace of a 3 way switch. If two dimmers are beside each other in a box you will have to break the tabs on the side of the dimmer. This will reduce the wattage rating of the dimmer. If you break one side it reduces by 100 watts. Two sides of tabs removed is 200 watts less.

It works with a three way bulb. I set the lamp switch for 150 and use the dimmer feature to control.

Lamps Plus advises that they have a dimmer available for purchase for this lamp. Has anyone adapted this for 3 way bulb? It likely can be adapted though Lamps Plus advises consulting someone to determine this.

I did not use the unit with a dimmer, but it is listed as dimmable with a standard dimmer. I would just be sure you meet the minimum load the unit requires and that the lamps are listed.
