I have had to recolor my scenery twice and finally figured out that the worst fading was directly under my 4' tubes. There are UV shields you can put around the tubes and I am now looking for them. When I find them, they'll be used! [:)]
QUOTE: Bare bulbed shop fixtures with daylight correction tubes are the best way to go.the only down fall is the daylight tubes are like 24$ each so dont break them
