 I used +AM2 +A0.1 -J0.0 for the AA options ....

  aperture 0.35
  blur_samples 200
  variance 1/1000
  confidence 0.99

 for the focal blur (pointed at midpoint of the lamp) ...

 good feedback ..... haha I'd already done a difference with the edges of 
the table and a cylinder that was
a 3rd the thickness of the tabletop (much better!), and the powercord .... 
was checking out another thread related to
