Will this work on a 3 way light switch?

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.

1. Hire a certified electrician.2. This switch/light will not work in a three or four way switch.

The short answer is no. Three way switches need three wires (black, white, and red) connecting the two switches. Consult a book on general house wiring for details. The GE switch can be wired to a single light for dimming.

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

This switch is just a 2 position - On & Off. A 3-way bulb requires a different type switch.You could use this to turn power on to a lamp, and then use the lamp switch to select the 3-way brightness level

Sorry, I use the timer on the only switch that controls that particular light. As for three-way operation, the only things I would know would be what is in the instructions.

Dear Heidi, I really don't know. I use mine to control a single pole switch. It may be too much for a 4 way switch set up. To be sure, check with an electrician. Good luck.

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.

Hi Eric, The particular switches I ordered are not 3 way switches although you can order Heath Zenith switches specificately that are 3 way. They come in sets of 2 switches model # WC-6023 made in white or ivory with remote control. The remote works pretty good as long as you run the antenna wire neatly below the light switch cover. Very good product. Good luck

My 3-way switch stopped working, which is why I went to this option. But it seems like a 3-way switch would work once you got the lamp turned on with the foot switch. The foot switch is just for ON/OFF.

Depends on what your aiming for. 3 way switches are a pain, and this will add sone interesting complexity. This is just a simple on off, think of it as a light switch that is light sensitive. Your wiring would have to be complex to compensate.

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.

hello thank you fro the question and interest. Yes this will work on a dimmer switch and the color are darker when not lit

Yes this will work with a 4 switch plate. It works with single, 3 way, and 4 way circuits.

It should as it is a 3 to 1 switch. Unfortunately I don't have a way to test that configuration.

If the KC light switch has three male prongs it should work the same, considering the proper wires are attached to proper terminals.

Yes and No. Yes, it will turn on in one of the 3 way switch positions but No, it won't give different amounts of brightness depending on switch position.
