We all know the damage by the sun in bleaching colours - do led UV lights cause bleaching at all?
I know these at a certain wavelength they can be harmful to eyes, but what about playfields et al?
Stranger Things obviously utilises them, as do Pinlights. Are they causing more damage than good?
(just installed some that are constantly on and wandered about long term effect on playfield).

Interesting question. Red and yellow are usually the worst two colours to be affected by sunlight, it's why I'll never get a red car.

It was only when I moved house I realised a lot of my books, DVDs and CDs had been bleached by the sun. I always tilt the blinds when the sun is shining in now to keep direct sunlight off them.
