The "100 watt maximum" on a three-bulb touch lamp indicates that each bulb can have a maximum wattage of 100 watts. This means you can use bulbs that are 100 watts or lower in each of the three sockets, ensuring the lamp operates safely without overheating or risking damage. If you exceed this wattage, it can lead to electrical issues or fire hazards. Always check the bulb specifications to stay within this limit.

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 is the difference if a switch is before or after a bulb in a circuit?
It is a safety concern. With the switch before the bulb, the bulb is completely isolated from the potential source when the switch is turned off. With the switch behind the bulb, even if the switch is turned off, the potential source is still at the bulb. If any of these lamp holder parts touch the ground when removing the bulb the circuit will short out and trip the breaker. If you are grounded and touch any of the lamp holder parts you will get a nasty shock.
