Can regular lamp bulbs damage collectibles?

Hey all, right now I've got my Cap PF in the direct light of a 100 watt bulb about two feet away. Bad idea?

I'm no expert on the subject but I would think that the heat would cook the paint on the longrun, no ? I use LED lights that don't get hot.

Well you can use a 100 watt bulb to dry oil paint based paintings by placing the painting about 10 in. from the light. That's about all I know on the subject.

Yes it is a bad idea. I had my t1 premium format about 4feet away when I moved the statue and removed the hands holding the guns there was black residue fom the gloves on the wrist.

Bad idea, Khev.

Buy some LED lights for your display.

LED are definately the way to go. All regular heat emitting lights will cause damage to statues and figures alike over the long run.

Thanks guys, I moved Cap last night and won't put him back until I pick up an LED!
