Can this be used with a lamp that has a 3way incandescent bulb?

Yes, I have used it with one. You just turn the lamp on (any setting as long as it's on) and it will work like it does with a regular lamp.

I have it on a lamp with a 3way bulb it is fine. The brighter light is good because it fills the whole room and makes getting up SO much easier. It also has a switch-on option so you can use the lamp other times. I love it.

Instructions state not to use more than 60 watts and no eco bulbs. Love mine works great

Yes. I use mine on a 3 way incandescent lamp. I have it on the brightest setting and "sunrise" starts as a glow and ramps up to max bright in 30 minutes. The three way will give you more options depending on how you want your sunrise to occur.

Absolutely. But it will only illuminate with whichever wattage the lamp is set to. The lamp is always switched on and the controller varies the power between the wall and the lamp.

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.

I am using it with a CFL, but not the 3-way kind, so I don't know if the latter would work.

I put it in a 3 way lamp fixture (it doesn't work as a 3 way bulb) and it works fine, no problems. As far as safety, from what I know, there shouldn't be an issue because of the way LED operates on electricity using a micro-chip. It doesn't require ballast or dimmable ballast to regulate the flow of electricity to the lamp (bulb).

I tried on a dimmer it did not work i assume the same for a 3 way lamp the lighting is so soft that i don't think you will need it

Hi Nana! It is a beautiful lamp. I don't see any reason those bulbs wouldn't fit. But, get the smaller ones, and the plug-in dimmer thing if you want 3-way.

Yes you can. It has a standard incandescent light bulb socket which will accept incandescent bulbs, or compact fluorescent bulbs of any wattage. A great thing about these lights is that the shades are translucent off-white, so if you use fluorescent bulbs, the shade makes them less harsh in color and they give off a light similar to soft white incandescent.

Yes with higher wattage bulbs. I tried using with a 3 bulb fixture that had 4 watt LED bulbs installed. It didn't work until I replaced bulbs with incandescent 25 watt.

Probably-- it just sends more (or less) electricity to the lamp. Works fine with a one-way incandescent bulb-- made it function as a 3-way.

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 know if they can be used on a 3-way lamp but they are dimmable. I use them in a fixture with 6 of these bulbs controlled by a dimmer and have had no problems.

In looking back at the description of the lamp, I found: Lamp Is for the single wattage bulb (100w, 150w), it is not for 3-way bulb.

This is a socket for three-way bulbs. If your lamp takes three-way bulbs with a chain pull, then it will work. I usually just leave the bottom portion of the socket attached to the lamp, and swap out the inner working with the switch (the part that usually goes bad). You can either use the new top portion, or the one from the original socket. Always unplug the lamp before working on it.

If this is the lamp that I bought it absolutely takes a 3 way bulb...I love the lamp!

No, a 3-way bulb will make no difference. I believe you can use a regular 100-watt bulb. I have 75 in mine.

You could use a three way bulb but I wouldn't or in other words u don't have to.Any watt u decide to use it will give u great lighting

Well, the socket accepts it, and there are contacts in the socket appropriate for a three way bulb. But, on my two identical lamps it won't do the three way feature. Not sure if the switch is broken or what is preventing the three way feature from working.

I am not sure what a "mogul bulb" is- but a three way bulb offers several different wattages when the lamp switch is turned.The dimmer will dim the bulb in what ever wattage it is set at by the switch but it will not change the bulb wattage like the switch.With the dimmer there really is no need for a three way bulb. You can just buy the highest wattage bulb and dim that to your liking.So yes- it can be used with a three way bulb but it is not necessary to use a three way bulb.
