Can this bulb be used in a 3-way bedroom lamp?

I'm not sure. I know you can't use it with a dimmer switch. I'd check with Philips.

Yes - but it won't operate like a three-way. It will come on about the second turn (switch) position and go off on the third (I did it recently to three 3-way lamps and it has been working fine - just not as a 3-way) It's at the 60w equivalent. Some LED three-way bulbs are on the market now but expensive - just saw a 30w-60w-75w for about $50. It is taking some time for LED bulbs to come on the market at reasonable price. Some dimmable LEDs are out now but expensive - prices are dropping all the time as more come on the market.

while it may work on one of the setting it is only a single intensity bulb.

You can put it in a 3-way light socket. However, it will only show one brightness level instead of three. When you turn the light switch, the LED bulb will go ON / ON / OFF / OFF, insteaed of LOW / MID / HIGH / OFF (like when you use a 3-way incandescent bulb).

Absolutely! I have one in my 3-way bedroom lamp & it works fine. This bulb also works great in my hallway enclosed light fixtures and is the perfect size to fit in them since they are closer to a regular bulb in size, plus the 800 lumens give good light.

It will only work most likely in the middle position. usually not low and not high. Similar with a regular non 3 way bulb

Question was about a 3-way SWITCH (where two different wall switches control the socket), not 3-way socket. Yes, this bulb will work fine in a 3-way switch arrangement.

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.

No. As with most compact fluorescent bulbs you can't use on a dimmer or 3-way fixture

It says 3 way but when we used one, it didn't work. I tried 2 different 3-way bulbs.

I have this lamp. Believe it means one can use a 3-way dimmable CFC bulb, which I do.

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

It's a very simple lamp - on/off switch is the only control. I don't believe that it will accommodate a 3- way or 2-way bulb.

I use a cfl and it works fine. I think the "traditional" bulb for this lamp is more indirect, but the socket is a standard size, so you should be able to screw anything into it.

These lamps have a 3 way switch designed for a light bulb that will give 3 different levels of brightness. You can find them in different combinations: 30/70/100, 50/100/150, 50/150/200. You can find these at local department or hardware stores. Any standard base bulb will work although you won't get the benefit of the 3 way light, I use mine for reading, so I prefer the 50/100/150. They do now make 3way CFL bulbs.

Yes, it can. I use a regular light bulb and one side and a CFL in the other.... I would just be careful about the size of the CFL.

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.

It's just a standard CFL bulb and not marked as dimmable. If you mean 3-way bulb, no, they are also not. I expect them to burn out if installed in dimmer circuits. Search "CFL dimmable" and you can find options.

Yes. I'm using one (American de Rosa brand) with a three way incandescent right now. Since higher wattage incandescent bulbs are banned, I buy three way bulbs, that so far I think are still available. Frequently one or two of the brightness levels will burn out, leaving only one. Incandescent lighting is healthy! Dimmers like this will not work with leds nor compact fluorescents. Nasty things, CFLs.

Yes, I'd this lamp is good enough for that. Just a suggestion, tho. Use this bulb, it works a lot better than the others I've tried in terms of lighting and quality. It also makes this lamp prettier!

Yes. CFL and LED bulbs can requie different switches. Yes. The switches can be used for three way and four way.

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