I do appreciate flourescent tubes, but I might have to get a more ‘natural’
lighting method because the greys/bleys blend together in flourescent
lighting (at least for me anyway)

I have as yet to try Retr0brite but it’s been a plan for a while. Sooner or
later I’ll do it and let you know if it reverses the UV damage.

Hi Dave,
thanks for posting your LEGO-room here at Lugnet! I like that as a very compact
storage and building room. What happens with models? All in diplay around your
house? Another storage area for sets and MOCs?

On topic of de-coloring:
UV-damages are done and can not be reversed, I guess.
But some of the tanning is in fact not a UV-cause. And I never heard that
“fluorescent tubes” cause stronger damage than other lights. Halogen lamps send
out harsh UV. That might be an issue.
On the other hand there is a common trick to whiten tanned (white) bricks: put
them (especially behind window panes) into the sunlight for a while. They
actually become pretty white again. If you disbelieve: try with a cheap
collection of old 1x2 bricks.... It actually works! Much better, safer and
milder than hydrogen peroxide containing detergents.
BTW: some chemical experts at 1000steine have claimed, that some volatile
contents of wood and brown cardboard lead to decolouring. So storing your bricks
in transparent plastic boxes (but in quite dark areas) is the best way to go. So
you did well on that.
Best Regards,
Ben

| (...) My 6990 monorail was set up for may years in the basement under florescent lights. Yeah, some of the white is pretty much tan in colour now.
