Abstract
Three-Way Light Bulbs and Sockets can create a condition, where “light flicker” can occur. One way to correct the situation and to reduce the chance of having light flicker is described in this patent. It consists of introducing an “INTERPOSER”, between the light bulb and the socket. Several interposer designs and construction options are described in the patent, as well.
