• a connector for mechanically and electrically connecting the lighting unit to a power source.

A lighting unit, comprising:

• an envelope containing first and second lamps arranged for cooperatively providing lighting in a common space, said first lamp producing a wider area illumination of a first intensity and said second lamp producing a narrower area illumination of a second intensity;
• a three-way switch for selectively energizing:
• the first lamp;
• or
• the second lamp;
• or
• the first and second lamp, wherein the first intensity is a lower intensity and the second intensity is a higher intensity;
• and
