3-position wall switch for 3-way light bulbs

03/23/2005 03:17 PM mikeemcg

Is there such a thing? I'm looking for a wall switch with off-low-medium-high positions that would behave like a table lamp with a 3-way bulb/socket. I'm not looking for a "3-way switch", i.e. a switch that is part of a one-light controlled by two different wall switches setup.

My goal is to use four 3-way compact fluorescent light bulbs in my dining room overhead light that is controlled by one wall switch. I'm not sure if this is possible and if it is, what kind of wall switch do I need to get? If it isn't possible, I may get dimmable compact fluorescents and a compact fluorescent compatible dimmer switch.

Mike.
