A followspot, sometimes known as a spot light, is a powerful stage lighting instrument which projects a bright beam of light onto a performance space. Followspots are most commonly used in concerts, musicals and large scale presentations where highlighting a specific, mobile, individual is critical.

Some followspots can be fitted with colorchangers to color the beam, and/or gobo holders to create a variety of effects. Most followspots can be fitted with color gels.
