Collector

A collector tower at Rampone Dockside Shipping, Wayside Dock District

A Collector Tower or Light Tower is a bizarre four-armed device seen occasionally on The City's streets during the first two games. The tower emits small yellow-green particles from each green tipped arm, which are drawn into the glowing yellow sphere at its center. It is not clear what its purpose is, but it is thought to have some connection to the Street Lamps, as similar spheres are held atop of them but it might also just be a more advanced street lamp.

In the Thief 2 mission "Framed", two collector towers are positioned side by side near the dancing zombies with a sort of particle/energy beam between them (the same beam occasionally seen between Coils). Also, a narrow collector tower can be seen in the first frame of the briefing for OM T1 Lord Bafford's Manor and a similar device is shown in the first T2 cutscene, but this is brighter and has a different model of arms.
