i bought a THREE WAY fluorescent bulb.................two of the

i bet i used the lamp once, for about five minutes.


Well, there are really only two levels plus the sum of the two. So
when one goes, that's always two.


That is true for 3-way incandescent. Are you sure it is for CFLs too?


It is for at least some.

I would suggest the OP just return them to the store for a replacement.
They were defective, just like you can get a defective traditional lamp.
