<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 2360981, member: 738"]Reducing UV light will help, but it will not eliminate damage as long as you have any visible light in the room. The only completely safe environment is darkness. In the museum world, even with UV filters in place, we never display items in direct or diffused sunlight. In my own home, I keep light-blocking roller shades down and cover textiles and artwork with sheets. <a href="https://ccaha.org/resources/light-exposure-artifacts-exhibition" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://ccaha.org/resources/light-exposure-artifacts-exhibition" rel="nofollow">https://ccaha.org/resources/light-exposure-artifacts-exhibition</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
