Yes, I used trace on the object to find the initial position and direction
of movement for each particle. Do you also use trace in your system?

I could however make the particles glide out of the way of the lamp - I
think I'll try just that.

If nothing more, I'll at least have a superficial look at the demo scenes
and documentation. Did you mean something else besides that?
