Here’s a weird question.
IKEA has these small lamps with the bulb enclosure at the end of a pair of telescoping rods. (They’re in IKEA’s Magiker series; they’re only about $12 each). I was thinking they might be good for on top of the modular, so that the lighting could shine down and back onto the faceplates.
But I noticed in the store that they have some kind of transformer brick. I don’t really know the theory behind halogen lights—it says they’re 12 volts--but seeing that brick kind of reminds me of a fluorescent light’s transformer and makes me think that maybe a lamp like this would not be a good mix with audio equipment.
Does anyone know for sure?

Thanks in advance.
