Why do some lamps and other fixtures require two turns to turn on and off?

Seeing alot about 3 way bulbs but some basic lamps do these to preload the switch…
Switching stuff on and off can create very small arcs when you do. This can create a layer on the switch contacts making it harder for the switch to work correctly or can just damage the contacts all together.. so most modern switches are designed to do the act as quickly as possible to have the shortest arcs. This gives you better life span on the switch.. what you could be experiencing is a switch loading to activate very quickly..
Technology connections did a video on switches and if remember correctly he talked about the kind of switches i believe you are talking about
