21. A lighting appliance, comprising in combination:
-
a housing; a first lamp and a second lamp mounted within said housing, said first lamp producing, when electrical power is supplied thereto, a lower light output than the light output produced by the second lamp when electrical power is supplied thereto; a light control module electrically connected to said first lamp and to said second lamp and to be electrically connected to a first single-pole wall switch that supplies electrical power to said light control module when the first single-pole wall switch is turned on, wherein said light control module supplies the electrical power to both said lamps when the first single-pole wall switch is toggled a first time, supplies electrical power to only said second lamp when the first single-pole wall switch is toggled a second time and supplies electrical power to only said first lamp when the first single-pole wall switch is toggled a third time. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
