I think that Hobey uses a pattern around the shadow screen. Think square
with a hole in the middle. The hole is for the rear shadow. The "non-hole"
portion is where the front projector casts it's image. The pattern blocks
the back light from coming through. That's what my notes tell me any way.

On a side note. That annoying glass on the halogen lights isn't just glass.
It's a filter that takes ultraviolet (UV) out. You might want to go to the
manufacturers website and check out how much UV the naked lamp throws. Or
not. Who doesn't want a nice tan?

Please to Check out these sites before you tell me that you've been using
this for the last x-teen years and haven't exploded or been burnt to a
crisp.
