All my lamps use three-way bulbs. Can I use energy-efficient bulbs in them?
Yes, CFLs come in three-way too!
Yes, there are CFLs that are specifically designed for three-way sockets. In order for an ENERGY STAR® qualified CFL to work properly on a three-way socket fixture, the electrical connections and ballast circuitry must be designed to allow the lamp to light at three distinct light levels. Even if you are only using the lamp at the highest level, to ensure optimal product quality we recommend using a three-way ENERGY STAR qualified CFL.
