The dimmer will have to be an LED Dimmer to work well.
SOURCE: 1 way and 3 way dimmer switches
The answer to your question depends on the manufacturer and type of 3 way dimmer you are using... generally you can use a 3 way switch as a single pole switch, but whether or not this holds true with the dimmer you are using depends. Let me know what you are trying to acomplish and model numbers mfgs of what you have and I'll try and help
SOURCE: A fixture on a Lutron Maestro dimmer switch stopped working.
This dimmer was not made to dim a load smaller than 40VA. That halogen bulb would only have been 20VA or so.

I think that when your bulb burnt out, the dimmer over-volted the transformer and smoked it. That said, I think you have a fixture problem and, possibly, a switch problem, too.

SOURCE: How many t8 fixtures can be wired to one Illuma
t8 lamps not familiar .
but here is a formula the switch should have a rating on it either in watts or amps. you can only load any electric control or switch to 80% of its rating .
so if its rated 300 watts you can use 240 watts of lights so if a t8 is 40 watts you can control 6 t8's
if the switch is rated at 15 amps take your 40 watts divided by your supply voltage 110/220 .. so 40 watts divided by 110 .36 amps,
now remember you can only load to 80% 12 amps in this example you could control 33 40 watt lights

Simply Automated Dimmers drive standard AC loads as low as 1 watt. The work GREAT for CREE LED fixtures.

I think that a good electrician will give you more correct answer. All that concerns the electrician requires the real knowledge and education. Because it is dangerous to work with electricity without certificate. When I have issues with electricity I always call Minneapolis electrical contractorhttps://bates-electric.com/locations/min... Because it isn't a simple light and I think that it is better not to risk and to call the professionals.
