This was an art instillation from 2002, by Marie Sester.

One of the ideas I had for my project was to create a security light which when triggered would cause a spotlight to shine on and track the person who triggered the light.

There are a couple of increased advantages of having a targeted light source over a floodlight.
The targeted light source would reduce the amount of property that is made visible then that of a flood light reducing the visibility for an intruder.
It would also put a great deal more emphasis on the intruder, singling him/her out in an environment. There is also the added factor of not being able to escape from the light which increases discomfort.
The only way you could escape the light would be to remove yourself from the area which, according to my survey results, is the overall objective of a security product.
