Tungsten is a greyish white element commonly used in lamp filaments. It has a high melting point and can withstand the high temperatures generated when electricity passes through it, making it ideal for use in light bulbs.

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.

How does a 3 way lamp work to provide different levels of brightness?

A 3-way lamp works by having a special socket that can accommodate a 3-way bulb with two filaments of different wattages. The lamp has a 3-way switch that allows you to turn on one filament for low brightness, the other filament for medium brightness, and both filaments for high brightness. This way, you can adjust the light output to three different levels by toggling the switch.
