The Sanyo is definitely in the open, where my coil is entirely within a cabinet and only subject to reflected light, if at all. I think the tuning can be made to avoid it but it needs to be quite precise which is why 2 parallel systems might work. Temp measuring to determine turn on and IR to determine when it has defrosted, for example.
