Right. With code obfuscation to avoid an unknown check you're trying
to avoid a static spotlight of a wavelength you cannot see. Since the
spotlight does not move and you can move, it should be easy, but since
you cannot see where the spotlight is, you can never be sure you are
not standing in its center brightly illuminated by light invisible for
you.
