Title: Lighting question for trophy room
Post by: jrebel on June 14, 2015, 12:57:52 PM: Is florescent OK for a trophy room???? or will it fade the hides / horns. I know UV light is bad for hides and just want to make sure I put appropriate lighting in my trophy room.

Thanks

LED lamps produce very little infrared light and dang near zero ultraviolet light. They also radiate almost zero heat. There are cheaper versions besides Eco-Lamp, but if I'm dreaming I might as well dream of the best. And so far those are the best I've found.
