Can you use a regular compact fluorescent bulb in a 2-way desk lamp ie it has 'I' and 'II' brightness levels?

The GE website says the following regarding 3-way lamps:
"GE does make CFL bulbs for use in 3-way lamps. Check the package for this application. If a regular CFL is use in a 3-way switch, it will work on the middle (medium) setting and it should not damage the bulb. The 3-way switch does not alter the performance of the bulb."
There don't appear to be 2-way CFLs in existence, so I don't know what this means for a 2-way lamp. Will it damage the bulb (ballast?) to be using a regular CFL in a 2-way? How would it actually work in that situation? I don't know because I don't understand the mechanics of a CFL and how these 2-brightness lights work. Hopefully someone else can shed some light! (ha)

Can LED lights flash on and off?
yes i think so Yes, there are flashing l.e.ds. An ordinary l.e.d. can, of course, be flashed on and off by interrupting the current through it. There are products such as the LED-FLASHDIM available from LED-SUPPLIES.COM that will enable you to control how LED strip lighting flashes and at what speed and brightness levels
What is the lumen output of led lamps?
LED light output varies greatly from near-zero to a current maximum of about 400 lumen. It is important to note that the lumen output does not necessarily indicate the potential for a light source to illuminate a surface for the purposes of viewing that surface with the human eye; two lamps putting out 100 lumen may well look to be of different brightness and provide different levels of perceived illumination.
What is the combined effect of two sound levels 80dB and 86dB?
The adding of this two sound will give you total sound level of 87 dBSPL. Scroll down to related links and look at "Adding acoustic levels of sound sources - Combining decibels, adding of levels, or combining levels".
What is positive and negative modulation?
in order to transmit the video signal amplitude modulation is used. the composite video signal has distinct polarity of black and white levels in the picture.1.positive modulation :- in this type of modulation, increase of brightness toward white causes increase in carrier amplitude peak white has 100% modulation while black and sync level have lower and minimum modulation respectively2.negative modulation :-in this type of modulation,the sync tip level are at 100%.blanking level correspond to black is at 75%and increase in brightness toward white causes decrease in carrier amplitudeNegative modulation is preferred over positive modulation because impulse interference is difficult to deal with and random increase in signal is similar to existing sync pulse.these interference result in generation of black spot and white blobs.
What is motor reducer?
Planetary Gearbox | Planetary Gear Reducer If you are looking for what a planetary gear reducer or gearbox is, here is the answer to your questions. What are planetary gear reducers? Planetary gear reducers are compact components that strive to maximize the transmission of torque in various applications. The mechanisms ensure the transmission of high torque levels while simultaneously decreasing the required number of motor revolutions for a set level of power. The Advantages of Planetary Gear Reducing Mechanisms Planetary gear reducers are advantageous for both small and big systems because they can successfully lower speed and the system's torsional inertia ratio while boosting torque inside the system. Compact Size and Low Weight These parts weigh less and are more compact than equivalent gear reducer systems, allowing them to fit into more designs. Planetary gear reducers can drop in size by up to 50% while still producing the same amount of torque. manufacturer and supplier Motion Well LTD is one of Taiwan's leading manufacturers and suppliers of planetary gear reducers and planetary gearboxes.
What is a Compact Fluorescent Lamp or CFL and how does it work?
A 3-way incandescent bulb works by having two separate filaments for the first two levels of brightness. For example, a 30-70-100 bulb will have a 30 watt filament and a 70 watt filament. The 3-way switch then turns on either the 30, the 70, or both - giving the 100 watts full brightness. (This is why a 3-way incandescent bulb usually burns out the most commonly used brightness level first.) A 3-way compact fluorescent, using the same simple 3-way switch, will either have two separate fluorescent tubes, one for each of the first two brightness levels (unlikely), or it will adjust the brightness electronically through an internal voltage (or other) adjustment based on which position the 3-way switch is set at. This is only an approximation - additional details would be interesting.
Levels in Photoshop are?
Levels in Photoshop are color and brightness correction.
What is the minimum brightness of a dsixl?
The brightness levels on a DSiXL can be changed to be from a brightness of 1(lowest) to a brightness of 5(highest). The screens can be dark depending on where you are.
What contains high levels of mercury?
Thermometers, Merthiolate, and fluorescent lights.
Does a compact fluorescent lamp use 60 watts the same as a standard lamp?
40 watts is 40 watts, that is what you are paying for. However, an incandescent bulb uses the 40 watts to make light and heat. The compact bulbs make more light and less heat for the same wattage. To actually save, choose a lower wattage that will give acceptable light levels.
Can you adjust the brightness settings on the 3ds?
Yes. The 3DS has 5 levels of brightness as well as a power-saving mode.
What is a fluorescent dye used as a water tracer because of its visibility at very high dilution levels?

What does the levels button in photoshop do?
To adjust the brightness levels of the overal picture, or individual R,G,and B values by either boosting or limiting the light and dark values, or adjusting the bias of the gamma.

How is eletrical energy converted in light energy?
In an incandescent light bulb, the wire is heated until it glows.In a fluorescent light bulb, atoms are excited, which means the electrons are raised to higher enerty levels. When they fall back, they emit light.In an incandescent light bulb, the wire is heated until it glows.In a fluorescent light bulb, atoms are excited, which means the electrons are raised to higher enerty levels.
