UV and discoloration

Graham

I have a question about my new LEGO room, having moved to the US from England - (you get more space for the money BTW)

My Wife has let me have a closet as my LEGO store - actually I have 2, before you crack any jokes - well no that's OK!!

Anyway as most here in US will know that "closets" are quite big - builders think about that when they build!

So this "walk in closet" is the size of a small UK bedroom -and it has NO windows which is good for both dust and no light.

Right now my question - the lighting is Fluorescent strip lighting, even tho wrongly named, will the small amount of UV emitted cause discoloration? I have the light on for several hours a day.

Thanks!

According to LEGO, the problem is "indirect light", whatever that is. But many people have reported discoloration in parts from sealed boxes. Best to avoid all light exposure- dark plastic totes are one cheap way. But even that may not protect everything.

Just keep your prices super low so your inventory keeps cycling through. Don't let it sit around.
