My lamp needs the socket replaced. Standard. Could i replace it (1 way) with this (3 way) ok? would it then be 3 way then? What watts 100/150/200 etc?

Yes and yes. As long as the cord is adequate for additional wattage and lamp can handle additional heat. Check lamp for a label that defines max watt bulb...

The bulb can be replaced It has a standard socket and would use up to 60 W incandescent

As previously mentioned by E. Allen, you could use an ungrounded (two-prong) to grounded (three-prong) adapter to plug into the two-prong lamp socket adapter, such as CableWholesale Cable Wholesale 3 Prong to 2 Prong Grounding Converter (30W1-32200) (strictly speaking, the latter adapter is meant for a grounded receptacle lacking a ground prong...)

Personally I only use a 75-watt bult because that's enuf brightness in that location. Never used a 3-way bulb in this lamp.

The socket is configured to fit a regular light bulb fixture. I just a regular 60 watt energy savings bulb. You can use halogen but may be an overkill.

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.

My husband replaced the socket for a lamp where we use 50-100-150 watt bulbs; works perfectly

The lamp has 2 prongs. It's totally OK to plug it into a 3 prong strip. If an electrical appliance is all plastic on the outside, you don't get a third prong. You don't need it. You get everything you need with just 2-prongs, even if you plug into a 3-prong strip. Not to worry.The folks that let you tie into great big power sources do try to keep you out of trouble. If you can plug something in, without cheating, it's ok, go for it.

Yes for pain, standard bulb socket. The lamp housing must be rated for 250 watts, most are not.

I would say it is the same as a standard lamp light socket. It's rated at 150 watts and gets a bit warm in use with a 150 watt bulb.

Standard bulb fits... just don't use 100 watt because it will "melt" the lamp!

I actually have 3 light sockets on the exterior of my house. In order to make it work I have to use at least one old regular bulb. According to the instructions it needs to have a minimum wattage being used with it for bulbs (if I remember it was 40 watt minimum) I tried 3 led bulbs (which totaled under 30 watts) and nothing worked. It works with any combination of CFL, LED, and OLD bulbs as long as the above minimum is met.

Sorry, still using the original bulb. I assume you are replacing the bulb? What does the bulb say? I can't find anything in my manual that calls it anything other than a 4 watt i.e. "Replace the 4 W night lamp (Max 4W incandescent lamp)". I would think a regular night light bulb is what they mean. I don't see any reference to Type T, (tubular). Does the regular 4 w incandescent C7 bulb not fit?The service manual lists it as Part FFV3420005S if that is any help ordering it online.

This socket is rated at 150 watt maximum so I think your good to go, however don't use a shade just the bulb that way heat will disapate.

I'd have to say probably. Just don't use any lightbulbs over 100 watt. You don't need a 3 -way light bulb to get this to go from low-medium high. This 1 was a lil bigger than the 1 I had and was a tight squeeze in the lamp. Be sure to ck measurements. I am very happy I tried this sensor. Model # didn't match exactly , but it works just fine :)

No, a 3-way bulb will make no difference. I believe you can use a regular 100-watt bulb. I have 75 in mine.
