That one gets my vote.  Use a flat diffuser rather than one which bulges
outwards, or use a diffusing reflector above the tube and bounce the
light off that.  Something like this

            / --- reflector
           /
    -----------\
               |  ---- T32 tube (pointing upwards)
            __ /
   ---------     ----Sensor (now shielded by tube housing)

Sorry about the lousy ascii art.
