Ok.  I've got a dual 20" Cinema display setup going for my G4 (G5 on
the way tho!) and I've added this little halogen desklamp that has
such a filter on one side - and I'd hate to see some kind of fogging
of the translucent portion of the Cinema display plastic or general
yellowing of any part of it, unevenly, on the side where the lite is.

Hmmm - wonder if I should just dump that light.  Halogen any worse
than other type of lite?  (So sunlight ever hits these (dark basement)
and other light is mainly soft white low-wattage bulbs behind.)
