Can it be used on a 3-way standard bulb and/or a 3-way mogul bulb?

I don't know what a 3-way mogul bulb is, but I've used these lamp dimmers with any kind of bulb I have in any lamps. I believe that they work with 3-ways or standard bulbs. The dimmer simply makes the light dimmer, no matter what level you start with. Plus, I love being able to turn off the lamp with the dimmer, while still lying in bed and not getting up to turn off the lamp!

Hi, sorry for the delay in responding to your inquiry. The device works well for dimming a 3-way standard bulb but, I have not tried using it on a mogul bulb.

The unit controls the power to the bulb. The dimming function will operate the same, albeit over the range selected by the lamp switch for the 3-way bulbs. For convenience, up to the power level of the dimmer (300 watts), it's more convenient to select the brightest light range of the bulb with the lamp switch, and then use the hand-held dimmer slide to set the illumination level desired over the whole range of the bulb. It is in fact a waste of money to use a three way bulb with the dimmer. Insted of a 50-100-150 watt bulb, for example, it is far more cost-effective to use a ('one-way') 150 watt bulb, that would then make available via the dimmer a semi-infinite number of light levels between zero (off) and 150 watts (full on) with one simple control.

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.

Yes it can! I am using it on the three-way bulb lamp and it works out just great!

I don't see why not. It should dim any incandescent bulb within its power rating of 300W or less.

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.

I don't see why not. As long as you realize that you will need 1 socket for each bulb. This only powers the bulb that is inserted into it.

I think not, but the following link appears to do just that. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mogul-Three-Way-Light-Bulb-Adapter-3-way-Mogul-to-3-way-standard-base-/280757869689

Never tried 3-way bulb. However, a change in the type of screw-in base wouldn't have any effect on a 3-way bulb - the current is still the same.

I believe they would. I fit them to the 3 way bulb before I changed my mind of what to use that would work and it fit right in there.

Unfortunately, it is the other way around. This lets you use european bulbs, in my case LED bulbs from China, in an U.S. fixture

Not sure what is a mogul base. These bulbs fit standard fixtures such as those found on ceilings and standard lamps. Hope this helps.

It takes up to a 100w incandescent or 23w cfl bulb. It's a chain pull so it will NOT accept a 3 way bulb.

I switched out the bulb for an LED one and used the on/off feature. There might be something like this for three way bulbs, I did not search.

As long as you old switch has the same number of leads on each side it should work. My lamp is an antique with three bulbs. The switch worked great for me.

These bulb are to small for a standard light socket. If that is what you mean by "standard". I use them for salt lamps.

I don't see why not. I have a 100w in mine and it is fine. I needed more brightness in the room I put it in so wanted it to be able to accommodate a higher wattage. They do not recommend a three way bulb however.

The mfg.. said you can use a standard 100w bulb. Bulb max rating of 100w is pasted on the side of the switch case. Or you can buy a 3 way bulb rated as 100w-70w-30w at a big box home supply store.A thee way bulb rated as 30w-70w -100w is available. Check out one of the big box builgding material stores.

Hi Ian, I haven't tried using another bulb with it. I think as long as you use the same type I don't see any reason why it would not work.

This lamp has a 60 watt maximum bulb recommended. So a 3 way or 100 watt bulb will not work.

It's going to depend on the fixture. If it has standard threading, yes. You may have to get an additional adapter.
