Dear Karen
 
See the attached article by Steve Weintraub re LED use in museums. The data 
 are relevant to all light sensitive museum materials, including the 
organic  adhesives/consolidants used in Paleo collections

Dear  List, 
Our museum is seriously looking  into using LED lighting in our new 
building.  Those of us in collections  are unsure about its effects on natural 
history specimens.  Has anyone  out there had experience with LED lighting or 
seen any compelling evidence  that says we should not use it?  Collections 
that would be at risk  include fossils, taxidermy, minerals, and books. 
Thank you for your  time. 
Sincerely,
