Cheap UV Shielding? Let's Test It!
🕑 Added 2020-07-30 21:31:08 +0000 UTCYes, lots of stuff in my shop that I want to protect from fading and damage due to ultraviolet light exposure, so I for decades I have used inexpensive and easy to get AG Film on my shop windows to filter out the UV from sunlight. In this video I use a UVAB Light Meter to test the window film I have installed in the Lab and Office and I also test my interior lighting to make sure that my artwork is in no danger of fading. Enjoy!

Aye.. don't forget the disastrous effect no non-uv resistant plastic too. Many a previously flexible part has shattered to dust.
It awesome to be a Patreon :-) I'm always learning something new at the Franlabe :-). Excellent video on explaining UV deterioration.

Yea - these readings were taken in indirect sunlight, but I drop my shades when the sun comes around. Even indirect scattered UV is significant through soda glass.

Carrie Fisher was right, she never will be not Leia! Interesting short video Fran.

I have a couple of bookcases next to a north facing window, so no direct sunlight, but it is surprising how badly faded some of the books have become over the years.
