Default Tips on preserving my autographed balls and bats?

I'm new to autograph collecting, I've obtained only a handful of autographs so far and all are on baseballs. I've read a few articles on preserving my autographs and so I know the basics such as no sunlight and keeping my items in UV protected holders.

I would like to display my collection as I continue to collect. Are there safe ways to do this while preserving the autographs and eliminating premature deterioration? I know fluorescent lighting is also bad. Are incandescent bulbs safe? What about halogen bulbs?

Do I have options outside of hiding my autographs away in complete darkness?
