HDRI vs Lighting Textures

What's the difference between Greyscalegorilla HDRI and light textures?
HDRI
Greyscalegorilla HDRI are panoramic images of real world locations and true-to-life studios and skies. HDRI quickly create environmental lighting in 3D, whether that is in a studio, outdoors, or even in space.
Area Light Maps and Gobos
Lighting textures have high-dynamic range and are used with individual area lights or dome lights, allowing pinpoint precision as if you were pointing a real light at your 3D object.
