How does the 3-way switch work with 5 bulbs?

My husband hooked the lamp up to an on off switch on the wall. I'm sorry to say I can't answer your question honestly.

Click 1 turns on two bulbs. Click 2 turn on just the three other bulbs. Click 3 turns them all on. Click 4 turns them all off.

on the first turn of the switch, some bulbs go on; on the 2nd one, some others bulbs go on instead & on the third one, they all go on.

Yes. I use a 3 way bulb and it works fine. I love the looks of the lamps. They fix perfect with my decor.

Mine does not have a 3 way switch. I cant imagine how any lamp could. The manufacturer has safety guidlines. I have used a 60 watt bulb in mine

No. It's basically a dumb switch. It sends a pulse to the primary via the traveler wire of a traditional three way set up and the main switch works the light. It needs the traveler,neutral and ground.

I used this switch to turn on a light in a pantry without using those obstrusive jamb switches (doors don't close properly when pressing on them from my experience). This is set up as a low voltage SPST switch, so you can't do 3-way switching with it. You can however use 2 reed switches in parallel to turn on the light from 2 door openings, but it wouldn't be a true 3-way switch. It would turn the light switch on if one OR the other door were open.

A four way lighting situation usually consists of 2 3-way switches and one 4-way switch. This should work if you use it to replace one of the 3-way switches, but will probably not work to replace the 4-way switch.JohnJohn

It depends on the total load of your bulbs. Add the wattage of all the bulbs this switch will be controlling

Yes. There are 2 switches on there so you can run 8 or 4. I suppose you could run 6 if you ran both switched but only put in 6 bulbs.

We have a 3-way bulb in there. We tend to use the second setting the most but will be more than adequate

Yes. The switch on the socket turns 3 way light on and off and selects the brightness assuming a 3 way bulb is used.

Why? It only has 1 output (full) and while any standard bulb will FIT a 3 way socket, you only get the single level. 3 way bulbs have 2 filaments instead of one so it's the bulb that changes output, not the socket.Besides, this is a Photographic bulb with Daylight color and hi CRI so I don't understand why you are using it for room illumination.

No, not 3 way switches in any of the lamps. I have put a 60 watt bulb in the floor lamp and 40 watt bulbs for the 2 table lamps. I love these lamps. They are very pretty and dress up a room. It is definitely a good value.

I believe the only 3-way switch is in the tall floor lamp, as far as wattage, there was nothing in the instructions to tell you any info. I hope this helps.

It will replace any standard wall mounted light switch, or any standard dimmer switch for incandescent bulbs. I don't see why you would connect a 3-way bulb to a dimmer switch, since you already have 3 levels of light adjustment. Would it work? I guess.

It's extremely simple. Just pay attention to the wiring as you remove the existing 3-way switch, and follow the wiring diagram in the box. It took me about five minutes before it was up and running.

Yes, but mine is not 3 way then. I get light on the second twist of the switch.
