That would be the easy way out, but I don't think that is the effect he
is after. It seems like he wants that nice glow you get from a flare
when it is behind something when GLOW BEHIND is turned on. If you use
Fadr behind object, you don't get any glow as soon as the flare is
covered up entirely. But with a police light you would think that when
one light is behind the reflector, the other light should be infront of
it, so perhaps you wouldn't need the glow and this method would work fine.
