Have you ever thought that a light source could fade fabric and artwork? Most of you probably know that if a couch is in front of a window and the sun hits it everyday, overtime it will begin to fade. But to my surprise some light bulbs can have that same affect. This all depends on the amount of UV light it produces. Along with sunlight, incandescent and fluorescent bulbs can have that same affect. Even though the amount of UV light that these bulbs emit is very small, over time, fabric and artwork can begin to fade.So, What should you do?? LED lights, which produce no ultraviolet light, are your best bet to keep fabrics and art from fading. But remember, you still have sunlight to look out for, so keep your blinds or curtains closed while sun is beaming for more protections.
