MH and small children?

Hi All

I have a Giesemann Infinity fixture with a 250W MH. I also have a small child who is short enough that she could look directly at the bulb.

Do any of you worry about this and if so what are the options? I was considering to make an acrylic shield?

Any thoughts much appreciated!

I had the same issue and I put a mini blind on the front edge of my light canopy until my kids got tall enough to not be always looking right into the light (8 years). Advantage of the mini blind was that it's easy to raise and lower. Not an aesthetic monstrosity either.
