Are all lights dangerous to collectibles?

I know direct sun can damage paints and fabric, but can something like a table lamp with a Reveal bulb also be damaging? I'm trying to figure out where to put some of my things, but a few places have somewhat direct lightbulb light.

Over long periods of time. LED lighting is what you want (not just for collectibles, they're just better bulbs all around and worth the cost).

Yes. Keep all of your collectibles in absolute darkness.

Keep all your collectibles in complete darkness...in my house here in Ireland just to be safe. What do you have?

In seriousness, I don't really worry about this too much. I keep them out of direct sunlight and thats about it.

If your statue has a light up feature, you MUST keep it off at all times. Otherwise you risk your collectible turning into dust.

You forgot to mention the detrimental effect of oxygen; your collection must be kept in a hermetically-sealed,as well as light-less, case for maximum protection. Ideally, you should never look at or touch 'em...PS
