Lighting in a room of collectibles
 

I posted this on the memorabilia board also. I would value any input you all might offer. Thanks.

I am branching out from cards and will be displaying memorabilia (some signed, some not) along with a few cards in a room. This room has one relatively small window and faces south. It doesn't get a lot of sun light but some. I am going to put a hotel style black out curtain in the room to take care of that minimal sun light. The only lights in the room are in a ceiling fan. I have switched the bulbs in the fan over to LED, and I only have two bulbs in instead of the possible four. The light would only be on a few minutes a day if I were in there, so there won't be much traffic. Autographed footballs/helmets will be in UV safe cases. Do you guys think these precautions are enough? I don't really know what else to do. Thanks for any insight.

I can't think of anything else you could do to protect them further.

From what I have read, the LED lights emit no uv waves, so having them is often enough to protect items that have little to no sunlight exposure.

LED is best, but old fashioned incandescent bulbs are better than fluorescent.

However, if you have light in the room for only a short while a day, the type of light is no big deal. The short duration makes up for it. Of course, short duration and LED is even better.

Thank you. It sounds like I may have done something right for once.
