I just purchased a picture light. It is one of those fancy lights that
is installed over a piece of artwork, and it then shows off the art at
night.

There are two 25 watt bulbs.

Can this fade my picture after a period of time?

Thanks.

Kate

Usually yes. Of course it depends on whether the picture is an oil (acrylic,
etc.), water color, charcoal, a black-and-white photo, a color photo,
mosaics, and so on. Also the type of bulb matters.

Check with the restoration section of your local art museum.

If it is very expensive are, I'd worry about everything. But for
prints or less expensive stuff, I double 50 watts of incandencent will
do much. Florecent would be a concern, though. But 50 watts of
florecent is quite a bit of light.

If it's a photo or something will glass in front of it, don't worry
because you should be using glass that will protect for UV.

Yes, any light will. However tungsten lamps do so far less than sun
light. Also it is the total amount of light.
