Is the total bulb wattage for all three bulbs or each bulb when the sign says use type c lamp 60 watts bulb max?

The total bulb wattage refers to the maximum wattage for each bulb, not the combined wattage for all three bulbs. Therefore, when the sign specifies a maximum of 60 watts for each bulb, you should not exceed 60 watts for any single bulb used in the fixture.


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.

Find the wattage rating on the dimmer controller. This is the maximum allowable wattage that the lamp in the fixture should be. Lamp wattage ratings under the rated dimmer wattage is fine but do not install a larger wattage lamp that is over the dimmer control's rating.
