Although they may not be placed close to the cooker but it is not uncommon to find strong lightings near the rack as they are for decorative purposes... it is worse for those that deliberately do so... ... "how cruel, the wine is alive"... ... heat to death... causing permanent damage to the work of god and mother nature - wine.
