Is there such a thing as three-way (50, 100, and 150 watt) colored light bulbs?

Question

By this I mean, "Can you buy a blue light-bulb (or green or red or whatever) that has a 50, 100 and 150 watt setting?" It doesn't even have to be 50, 100, and 150. It can be any three levels, really.

If so, it would seem that you would only need a red, a green, and a blue 3-way light bulb to make light in any color of the rainbow.

Answer 1

To answer your first question.... No.

Ah ha... but to answer our second question.......... No.

Actually I even looked it up on GE's webiste (http://genet.gelighting.com/LightProducts/Dispatcher?REQUEST=RESULTPAGE&CHANNEL=Consumer&FILTER=FT0010:General+Purpose_3-Way&CATEGORY=Lamps&BREADCRUMP=General+Purpose_3-Way%230)
And sorry to say no dice. But you know, you could buy a 3-way compact-flourescent bulb and paint it 3 colors, see what happens. I say do a CFL since they dont generate as much heat.

Answer 2

i do not see why a 100-watt bulb might want to fail in a three-way socket. The bulb will mild at purely 2 of the three positions of the swap, however it may paintings. I really have carried out this numerous circumstances, have not in any respect had a bulb fail. the same voltage is utilized to the bulb from all of both contacts, the three-way lamp has 2 filaments, 50W and 200W. There are separate contacts for each filament, The swap activates the 50W filament on my own for 50W, the 200W filament on my own for 200W and both filaments for 250W. The 100W bulb ought to turn on for 2 of those settings.
