Why won't a three way lamp switch work with a wall controlled outlet?
Not wanting to state the obvious but the wall switch has to be turned on to supply voltage to the outlet. The lamp will need a three way light bulb in the lamp. A three way bulb uses two filaments of different lengths. One element is used for low brightness, the other filament for medium brightness and the high brightness setting uses both filaments in the bulb. If a single filament ordinary light bulb is used in place of a three way light bulb there will be a position on the three way lamp switch where the bulb will not light. Find the position on the lamp where the bulb will light and leave it there. Use the wall switch to turn the lamp off and on through the controlled receptacle.
What are some of the components in a light bulb?
The bulb and the filament are the two main components of an incandescent light bulb.
Can a light bulb work with just oxygen instead of argon?
No. Light bulb filaments become extremely hot when in use, and oxygen, which is highly reactive, would cause the filament to burn away in a matter of seconds. Argon is used because it is inert, and thus will not react with the filament.
Who founded the light bulb?
Thomas Edison invented the light bulb used in American homes.
Can a light bulb be used for reading?
Yes, they can be used for reading.
What element is used a light bulb filaments?
Tungsten is the most common today.
What elements make a light bulb possible?
For an element to be eligible for a light bulb, it should be highly malleable and should have a very high melting point. Tungsten is one such element which is extensively used to make filaments of electric bulbs.
The element used in light bulbs filaments?
Tungsten
Why is tungsten metal used in filaments of light bubls?
It is a part of a bulb
Element used in light bulb filament?
That depends on the bulb, and the time frame. The first bulbs had carbon filaments. Certain bulbs used in control devices have iridium filaments. Modern grocery store incandescent bulbs have tungsten filaments.Tungsten, because of its very high melting point.
Which element is used in the filaments of household light bulbs?

What element is used in the filaments of househole light bulbs?

What is used in light bulb filament's?
Tugsten No, its Neon. like Neon signs actually its not neon because neon is used for neon lights the questions states what is used in light bulb filaments not neon lights.
What mineral is used in tools and machinery?
The answer is iron. It is used to make steel for tools,machinery,and light-blub filsments. +++ Not the light-bulb filaments. They are made from tungsten.
What are light bulb filaments?
Usually Tungsten. Carbon filaments were used first, but scientists found that tungsten works for a far longer time period. Unfortunately, most filaments designed today don't last near as long as the bulb is rated at. Just put a dated replacement sticker on a light bulb and see when the next time you replaced it how long it went. You will be surprised.
