Hmmm, I will stick with flare...;-)
It doesn't show in the photo since there is considerable other
density next to it in the photo... If you shot the same photo
again, but placed a shaded black board near the lens and lined it
up to just reveal the flourescent light, you would probably see
the light spill over the edge of the black board area... I used to
shoot a lot of interiors, and it was a common sight - welcome to a
simple (if a bit harsh on the lens...! ;-) test for lens flare! ;-)
