How does this wireless remote unit work with 3 way brightness lamp? Does it work well with 3 way LED bulbs? Is there a better product for remote use?

I have a floor lamp with a 3-way bulb plugged into one of the outlets but I have it on the setting I prefer to use with the remote. You can't change it with the remote. If you want less or more light you have to physically do it.

The question is how do you control the brightness of the bulbs? The remote basically, turn the power on and off. If your LED bulbs changes brightness by simply turning the switch off and back on, then you can click the remote button a few times until you get your desired brightness.

I have two three way lamps plugged into them and they work great, the only thing is that if you want to change the brightness, you have to get up and manually do that. I absolutely love this product. A much better product then one that we bought in a store and they blew the first click.

No and that is my issue with this switch now. It worked great with incandescent bulbs but when I switched the three (porch area) out to LED, it controls them but also randomly turns each of the three in the circuit on and off like some odd Halloween light show -- only happens when it is supposed to be off and nothing picking up from the remote sensor. I even tried mixing back one incandescent bulb in an attempt to trick the circuit but it did not work any better.It looks like it is pulsing power out here and there which the LEDs are sensitive enough and require so little current that it momentarily lights them up.Time to look for another product that supports the new lighting standard.

I'm using it to control my front porch light which has an LED bulb, and it works great for that. If by "3 way" you mean, 3 different light settings for a single bulb (such as 50w, 100w & 150w), probably not (although it should work for a single setting). If you mean a single light controlled by 2 separate switches, I don't know but would doubt it.

I got a slightly different model TBL03, but it looks the same. I use it for three lamps via a triple plug connected to the dimmer. It works well with LED lights so far. Mine is rated for max 300 W incandescent or 150 W LED/CFL. My LED bulbs are 9 W each, so x3 is only 27W total.

I Didn't check for a remote capability. I use one master and 2 slaves and they all work fine. You can use more slaves than that, but they all have to be wired in. If there is a compatible master that works with a wireless remote, it would save wiring. If the remotes are cheap enough, I'd advise that for simplicity, but they would probably have batteries. I put mine in 16 months ago, so I don't know what Lutron has in the product line now.

It appears from other comments that is the case, but I have not used 3-way bulbs in either, yet! Otherwise, this kit works well. I redid two lamps by myself!

I have two florescent fixtures in my shop. No issues that I'm aware of with the remote. Works just fine.

It works with LED bulbs. They go off with one press. Incandescent bulbs dim if you hold the button down, but LED bulbs do not dim - they stay bright.

This module has dimming capability. It will work in your 3 way lamp with a regular bulb. You can dim or brighten to whatever intensity you desire. No need to be restricted to set wattage.

The unit controls the power to the bulb. The dimming function will operate the same, albeit over the range selected by the lamp switch for the 3-way bulbs. For convenience, up to the power level of the dimmer (300 watts), it's more convenient to select the brightest light range of the bulb with the lamp switch, and then use the hand-held dimmer slide to set the illumination level desired over the whole range of the bulb. It is in fact a waste of money to use a three way bulb with the dimmer. Insted of a 50-100-150 watt bulb, for example, it is far more cost-effective to use a ('one-way') 150 watt bulb, that would then make available via the dimmer a semi-infinite number of light levels between zero (off) and 150 watts (full on) with one simple control.

Remote dongle? This is a dongle. I don't see how two dongle's would work. If you mean you want to use just any old remote? Then yes. This thing will work with any remote that sends regular old IR remote signals. No lights on it.

I never read anything that would imply that these three way led dimmer switches had handheld remote controllers. The multi location allows dimming operation from all wired switches.

Yes, I have the same situation. You can leave the switch on the light on and control it from inside, or you leave the inside switch on and control it at the light. It WON'T work like a 3-way.

Its ir, I believe the remote should work for multiple bulbs simultaneously. Be aware that the bulbs dont have memory so they're reset every time you turn them off. When turned on they default to color changing mode

I use the fan with both the wireless contol and a standard one way switch. The speed setting stays the same as set wtih the remote, when turning off and on at the wall switch. Since the three way switch only supplies power to the fan (off or on) in the same way as to a light, it will work just fine.Best regards,H A Brooks

Lynne, I'm not sure is the seller would sell it that way, but they're only $5 and one remote will work all the bulbs. My son does this with a couple at a time.

The remote comes with a dimmer, with three levels of brightness. However the LED is powered by an LED driver that controls the voltage. I'm not sure using a dimmer in front of this device is a good idea.
