  This article introduces spotlight tiling, a type of covering which is similar
to tiling. The distinguishing aspects of spotlight tiling are that the "tiles"
have elastic size, and that the order of placement is significant. Spotlight
tilings are decompositions, or coverings, and can be considered dynamic as
compared to typical static tiling methods. A thorough examination of spotlight
tilings of rectangles is presented, including the distribution of such tilings
according to size, and how the directions of the spotlights themselves are
distributed. The spotlight tilings of several other regions are studied, and
suggest that further analysis of spotlight tilings will continue to yield
elegant results and enumerations.
