If you put a 3-way in a 1-way

[workinggal]

If you put a 3 way light bulb in a single socket, what wattage does it use? The lower, middle or highest?

Well 3 -1 =2, so I'm gonna guess the middle one. No, really....I don't know. Sorry.

Is a "three way" an appropriate DIS topic?

 

[workinggal]

well I am one

you do the math

 

[Lewski709]

I knew exactly what it was about before opening it. Who has a dirty mind here?

 

[AirForceRocks]

I personally think that one ways should stay that way. I'm concerned that trying to put three of anything into something that was made for one thing is just asking for trouble.

JMO.

Geez, can't anything stay on topic?????

This is a serious question and you all are turning it into a well....I can't say it here.

Anyone know the answer?

Wouldn't putting a three way in a one way potentially damage something?

[workinggal]

How about putting a one way in a three way lamp? How does that work?

It's all so confusing.

Where's Ken Jennings when I need some answers? lol

 

[Dizkneenurse]

I use those light bulbs all the time and they just click through the 3 setting..low, middle and high then off. So you can use which ever you choose.

Hope that helped

Sorry for the highjack!!
