Negative lights do exactly that. A spotlight with a negative value will
actually take away light at the hot-spot, falling off to normal light at the
periphery. These are great for "darkening-up" corners in rooms and can
give a scene a warmer look.
Projection lights work like a movie projector. A frame or sequence of
frames can be projected by a spotlight to simulate complex lighting
as in the colored light coming through a stained-glass window or as
Trilobyte used it in "Eleventh Hour" to project the flashlight shaped
light on a scene.
