What if I made seperated chamber for my light and for my plant and seperated them with a sheet of Plexi Glass...It would keep the heat away from the plant in theory right?

hey dees... yah I think it could work but glass is a crappy insulator. Just stand next to a window in winter 
I think it will help, but not as much as you might hope for.

Well I am an outdoor grower, but if you don't have to worry about runaway temps because of the a/c unit...the glass should give you the dust protection you need. Has this been a problem or something you have noticed before? Dust build up?
I turned off my desk lamp from which I installed a new bulb about a month ago... your post made me check it... Hard to find any dust on it....whew!!

I noticed some dust on my bulbs from my last grow...I just want to make sure i dont ruin my new lights...The Are HID...Dust can cause HID Bulbs to burn out quicker...Well I am an outdoor grower, but if you don't have to worry about runaway temps because of the a/c unit...the glass should give you the dust protection you need.

Couldn't you just wipe them down occasionally?
