I thought that negative light was not allowed but I see that it is.
So If you have not tried it. Here is the Stamford Bunny with a point
light a normal Spotlight and a negative spotlight.

Strange but interesting. It seems that the shadow from the positive light is not
affected by the negative light. Must try negative emission some day...
Best regards,

Yes interesting I think that it might be to do with the shadow test.
It does not work in a light group, either.
Here is an image with both spotlights at the same locations.

You can get it to suck different proportions of rgb which gives effects.
A shadow colour of: rgb <0.10000,0.75,0.75> * -13.5

I'm not quite sure what we have here. Negative light is a feature which can be
used artistically, but then the shadows must be affected too. In your additional
scenes the shadows of the positive light still seems to be not influenced by the
negative light. Most likely we're hunting down a bug here. My opinion is that
negative light gives more artistic freedom but then it must be implemented
correctly. For photorealistic renderings it is not necessary. May be Christoph
Lipka can shed more light onto this issue.
Best regards,
Michael

Fun fact to know in this context: The math behind the SSLT feature is
also derived from some "negative light source" model.

(I see what you did there :-))
Note that where there is "negative light", there is also "negative
shadow" - but also note that shadow is nothing but the absence of any
(in this case negative) light.
The scenes you have posted so far all have the regular shadow lie
completely inside the "negative shadow", so how should the regular
shadow be affected by the "negative light"?
Speaking of necessity for photorealistic renderings, negative light
would play a role if you wanted to simulate light of highly saturated
colour, such as from LEDs or mercury vapor lights. Such colours are
outside of the sRGB gamut (or any other RGB gamut, for that matter), and
would therefore have to be modeled with one or two colour components
being negative (unless you have spectral rendering available, that is).
I suspect that there are some places within POV-Ray that can't properly
handle negative colour components though.

BTW, it's "Stanford Bunny" (as in "Stanford University"), not "Stamford
Bunny".

With my accent, there's not much difference.

It wasn't Michael that posted the images.
I think of the "negative light" spotlight as being a Souper Dooper Light
Sooker.
Two further images with the SDLS falling across the true spotlights shadow.
One is intense dark the other has the red component, zero.

I've never been accused of photorealistic renderings. ;-)

The animation I posted just before this one, Needs a flash of reflection
(?) running down the ribs. I used two concurrent cylinder lights, with
one of them using "negative light", to make an annular light. It worked
okay but when I tried to put it in a light group. It just behaved as it
wasn't in one. :-(

On my todo list (longer than Thomas's): Try "negative light" on SSLT.
