Over time florescent lighting can damage fine art too due to the ultraviolet rays it emits. Incandescent bulbs should be used as they do not emit ultra-violet and are considered a lot safer for lighting artwork. Spotlights too can be dangerous for delicate artworks as they may generate heat over a period of time.
Another way to avoid ultraviolet rays when you are inside a building is to frame your image under an ultraviolet blocking glass, which can be done using a professional framer. Many museums and galleries around the world use this as it has been considered a real safety barrier against long term fading. -- -- -- Charles Art / Insurance provides high-quality art and jewellery insurance services based on your specific needs.
