Actually fluorescent puts out massive UV, enough to get a tan based on studies. LED is the best for protecting color. Almost all museums have switched to LED lighting.

I have not seen any color loss, but I display in a basement with LED strip lighting that is only on if I am looking at them. However the UV protection provided by PRO-Mold and Ultrapro is better than nothing, and that is what all the TPGs have.
