Sunlight bleaching? (1 Viewer)

[paulkersey]

Right now all of my chips are stored in clear Justin racks on shelving in my office. They're not in direct sun, but there is a window. Should I be concerned about sun bleaching and store them away in a dark place? I'm guessing the answer is "duh, of course", but just wanted to hear everyone's thoughts on storage. Thanks

Paulsons require UV protection. I keep mine in a closet.

Duh, of course

I wouldn't be so worried about reflected light.
You could put a UV blocking transparent film on the window instead.

They would probably bleach, but do you want to be the first to conduct this experiment?

All my sets are in my man cave… no window

It's kinda funny but a similar issue came up regarding protecting art hanging on walls from UV light. You could frame each piece with UV glass which would cost a shit-ton of money per piece OR you can prevent transmission at the source of the light for MUCH cheaper, then hang as many pieces in the room as you like.
