Low beam and work light control for a work vehicle

A method of providing near field illumination for an industrial vehicle during movement along a roadway, the method comprising:

• providing a low beam light at an upper portion of an operator's compartment of an industrial vehicle, the low beam light providing illumination to a first location between a first position disposed a first distance beyond the industrial vehicle and a second position disposed a second distance beyond the industrial vehicle, the second distance greater than the first distance;
• providing a work light at the upper portion of the operator's compartment of the industrial vehicle, the work light providing illumination at second location disposed between an end of the industrial vehicle and the first position;
• and
• activating the work light upon activation of the low beam light to provide illumination of the first location and the second location during movement of the industrial vehicle along a roadway.

A lighting fixture comprising:

• a low beam light;
• and
• a work light positioned adjacent to the low beam light, the low beam light and the work light coupled such that the low beam light and the work light activate simultaneously,
• wherein the low beam light provides illumination to first a location between a first position disposed a first distance beyond the light fixture and a second position disposed a second distance beyond the light fixture, the second distance being greater than the first distance, and
• wherein the work light provides illumination at a second location between an end of the light fixture and the first position.
