Disappointed that this article doesn't cover the history of the spotlight. When and where were these first used? What where the first ones like? How did they influence stage productions and other entertainments? I hope someone will add to this entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.123.166.33 ( talk) 06:24, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
Maybe this is a regional or uk/us terminology thing but I always thought (from my brief interactions with the theatre industry) that "spotlight" on it's own normally reffered to lights that provided light in semi-fixed (only changed between performances) locations while "followspot" reffered to lights that were designed to be moved to follow a target on stage. 94.6.24.111 ( talk) 21:04, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
I removed the following photo from the article.
I do not recognize the specific make or model of this light fixture, but it looks to me like it is a Fresnel_lantern, and in my experience, Fresnel are not often used as spotlight. I am removing the photo from the article, until we can find a good reference. Sébastien Leblanc ( Talk| Mail) 08:01, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
Anyone care to add details about remote control spotlights such as the remote control system available for the PRG Bad Boy? -- 109.79.158.192 ( talk) 04:30, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
