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?

 

Here's a photo if you're interested:

Thanks in advance.
