Can you use this as a replacement to make any old lamp a three way lamp?

Yes. I had a one way in there but the switch stopped working. Figured an upgrade was in order!

I do not have the experience to be able to answer your question. I used this item to replace a three-way unit that the turn knob had broken off.

This is switch cannot replace an existing three way one. I haven't looked into remote switches since I bought this one, but if you're looking for a remote switch who's receiver can replace one switch in a three way pair to add a third (remote transmitter) switch, their may be other options. Also, this switch will not work with CFLs since a small amount of power flows through the bulb, so you'd have to use incandescent types.

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.

You can screw a 3-way bulb into the socket, but it shorted out very quickly. Actually, I bought two. The second one is still working with the lower wattage 3-way bulb. I never tried the higher wattage bulb.

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

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.

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.

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.

yes you could, but the lamp has three individual "bulbs" if your not high enough they may not light the whole work area evenly...

Yes you can. It's a so called RV or boat lamp. It is very unreliable however. I would not buy this lamp again.

These lamps take a 3-way bulb; mine currently have a 30/70/100. I'm sure you can fit a single 60W if you prefer.

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

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

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.

Lamps Plus advises that they have a dimmer available for purchase for this lamp. Has anyone adapted this for 3 way bulb? It likely can be adapted though Lamps Plus advises consulting someone to determine this.

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

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.
