Default ? on rewiring lamp.

Hi Terry:
We initially rewired them with 3 way sockets, and
worked perfectly. On adding the inline switch(which turns them on and off
fine), we lose any adjustability on the socket switch. If we turn the socket
switch, we get on and off only. No progression.

Thanks




That simply is not physically possible.

As the secondary poster wrote:

"Are you sure that yoiu are using three way bulbs?"

and

"Are you sure you installed a three way socket?"

Post and provide a link to pictures of the bulb base and the interior of
the
replacement socket you installed.
