Where to use it
The spotlight effect is popular on dark landing pages for a reason: it makes a grid of feature cards feel interactive without moving anything. Use it for the features section of a SaaS site, the service list of an agency or a row of plans. It is the glow card hover effect a lot of people go looking for.
It needs a dark or mid-tone background to show; on white the light almost disappears. Match the glow to your accent color and keep the intensity moderate so the text on top stays easy to read.
