ABSTRACT:
An improved electric energy saving incandescent lamp socket combination having in one embodiment a two-position electric "off-on" switching means, and in another embodiment having a four-position electric "off", low, medium and high switching means for a 1-way and a 3-way incandescent lamp respectively. The lamp socket houses therein a subcombination means that comprises a conventional two-position switching means having at least one single throw "off-on" electrical switching position and a half-wave, electric rectifying, diode which is electrically short-circuitingly connected to any two of generally three electrical terminals which project from at least one surface portion of the conventional two-position switching means. Thereby a person can actuate the lamp socket's two-position and/or four-position switching means and at substantially the same time, as desired, actuate the subcombination two-position half-wave rectified "dim" and full-wave "on" subcombination means for providing a one-way incandescent lamp with an electrical switched positions of "off-dim", "off-bright", "off-dim-bright", "off-bright-dim" and the like combinations. The four-position 3-way lamp socket switching means and two-position subcombination will provide eight separate combination of three illuminations, as desired, accordingly.
