Product Description

The G E LIGHTING 15846 is a three-way incandescent reader light bulb designed for use in fixtures that support three-way switching. Rated at 70/170/240 watts on a 120-volt circuit, this A23 A-line bulb delivers soft white light across three distinct output levels: 1000 lumens at 70W, 2800 lumens at 170W, and 3800 lumens at 240W. The medium base fits standard three-way lamp sockets. At a maximum overall length of 5.75 inches, it suits floor lamps, table lamps, and dedicated reading fixtures commonly found in residential settings. Each package contains 6 bulbs, making it a practical choice for stocking multiple fixtures or maintaining inventory on the service truck.

This bulb is intended for residential and light-commercial reading and task-lighting applications. It is well suited for torchiere-style floor lamps, swing-arm reading lamps, and any three-way socket fixture where adjustable light levels are needed. The soft white color temperature provides warm, easy-on-the-eyes illumination appropriate for prolonged reading tasks. Each bulb in the 6-pack carries a rated service life of 1000 hours across all three wattage settings.
