RE : Really dumb question of the day...


 

Yeah, but he said there was only 2 contacts at the base of the bulb.

The only way I could imagine would be using polarity, but that doesn't make
sense with AC.

Inside are two filaments of differnt wattage.
Each contact goes to one filament, the reurn is the base.

low wattage filament - low
high wattage filament - medium
both filaments - high.

that's what i think. Such bulbs are not sold here.

Stefan is correct. The two contacts on the bottom plus the shell makes the
three contacts and 4 possible combinations:
Low
Med
High = low & med
Off

Two terminals and the other two terminals connected to
common of the bulb which could be the metal ring which
