One example solid state lighting type lamp for a three-way luminaire includes a power source, a controller, an output stage, switching logic circuitry and multiple sets of light emitters. The logic circuitry receives input signals from tip and ring power contacts on a lamp base. The controller provides power from the power source to the output stage which is controlled by the switch logic circuitry to selectively apply power to different ones of the sets of light emitters responsive to the input signals. Each set of light emitters emit light having different color temperatures. In another three-way luminaire example, the control circuitry is configured to control drive current in a sequence to toggle the lamp consecutively between an OFF state and ON state in response to inputs from a three-way socket. Another type of lamp includes circuitry to permanently disable the lamp on detection of an end-of-life condition.
