I just experimented with this. I sat down in my armchair with the halogen light off, just the fluoro on and every single swipe worked. I then turned the halogen light on and swiping only worked intermittently. I turned the halogen light off and it worked perfectly again. I tried this several times with the same results.

I don't know why it should matter. The only thing I can think of is that the halogen light is emitting some light in the IR spectrum. This in turn may interfere with the photodetector.

Since other's don't have that issue, maybe it is just a faulty photodetector and I should get the unit replaced.
