Will this work with a 3-way light bulb?

Yes. It is just a high quality extention. The base controlls the 3 way. I use it because the lights were recessed too far for Can lights. It worked great. These do not control anything. They just extend it out farther.

I haven't used the adapter for a 3 way bulb although it should work just fine for them. The adapter simply converts a mogul screw socket to a medium screw socket.

Yes it should, as long as the bulb is dimmable and I believe there is a wattage minimum for the switch to work. So you may need multiple LEDs tied into the switch. Like how a bathroom light has multiple bulbs. (Not sure what the minimum wattage per switch is, I've read it somewhere but haven't ran into that problem as I only use halogen bulbs so far).

You can use it in a three way socket, but it will not work as a three way bulb. It will only light at it's full light level.

Probably not since it recommends 100W 3-way bulb. FYI, my 3-way simply does not work so I am just using it as a regular 100W.

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.

Not sure what a cfl bulb is. I don't no why you would want anything other then a 3 way. It's a great feature. Tell what a cfl is and I will try it.

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

Question was about a 3-way SWITCH (where two different wall switches control the socket), not 3-way socket. Yes, this bulb will work fine in a 3-way switch arrangement.

I don't believe it will work on a three way switch. It actually turns a standard switch into a three way system using the radio controlled remote switch. The wording on the description & instructions is confusing & a little misleading.

It appears from other comments that is the case, but I have not used 3-way bulbs in either, yet! Otherwise, this kit works well. I redid two lamps by myself!

I bought three of these lamps and use 3 way bulbs in all of them with no problems. Since they advertise use with 3 way bulbs, there may be a malfunction with your lap.

I'm not sure. It won't work the 3-way bulb like the lamp is designed, but it should still work as a dimmer with whatever bulb is in the lamp.

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.

If this is the lamp that I bought it absolutely takes a 3 way bulb...I love the lamp!

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

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.
