As Christoph explained. See next two images.

I wonder how it would work with caustics and photons?

Other than surreal images. You might use it to reduce the brightness 
locally, in a scene.

The shadows work in a completely logical manner: Inside the shadow
the rendering engine just says "this light is not visible from here,
ignore it". It doesn't care what color the light might be (even if
it's negative.)

If you want even more artistical effects, make some of the color
components of the light positive and others negative.
