Varies by vehicle and how it's set up. On vehicles which come from the factory with High Intensity Discharge (HID) lights, yes - those take a few seconds to warm up, and switching from high beams to low would leave a few seconds of complete darkness if there weren't a quad beam setup. Many vehicles often have aftermarket quad beam setups installed, often for the purpose of installing HID lights. On a lot of heavy duty trucks, now that they've gone to SAE J1939 multiplexing, where EVERYTHING is run through a chassis node, they'll often be set up in such a fashion, the difference being that, instead of a quad harness which keep power to the low beam circuit continuous when the high beam circuit is engaged, this is all done through computer programming.

What are low beam lights?
Low beams are the headlights when they are dipped. Used to light up the road just in front of you and biased towards the kerb nearest you. They also allow you to be seen clearly, but without blinding oncoming vehicles or those in front of you. When there is no other traffic to blind, the headlights should be switched to main beam, to give you the best view ahead and early warning of dangers. A blue light on the dashboard warns you when your headlights are on Main beam and blinding. If you have your headlights switched on and there is NO blue light, then your headlights are on Low beam.

It sounds like the low beam/high beam switch is bad. Fuses are not the problem since they are built into the headlight switch and would cause headlights to blink or not come on for both high and low beam headlights.
What are high beams on the car?
High beams are the "bright" setting of your headlights. The reason they are sometimes referred to as "high beams" is because when they are on high beam or bright setting, the lights are directed straight out, instead of a bit more downwards as they are on "low beam" or "dim".
