Advice on displaying minifigures and modular building

[Daniel-Technic]

Hi all.

need a bit of advice. I have a lot of minifigures and modulars building sitting on Ikea Billy bookcase with glass doors in my spare room.

I have two windows and they have net curtains and standard curtians ( no blackout ). I also have a traditional light bulb and only switch on when I'm in there. The curtains is closed to stop sunlight coming in in morning and due to layout of the room, the bookcase sit on a corner next to window.

The question is : will it be enough to prevent discoloured to my collection?

I can install blackout blind inside the window reveals to stop 100% light coming through if necessary?

Experienced Builder, how do you display Lego?

okay, first off, preventing totally seems to be 100% not possible (aside from a vacuum sealed vault with 0 light).

but basically, if their IN the bookcase with the doors, you could switch the glass with UV glass, but that's about it, UV and age are the basic 2 culprits, and only keeping them out of prolonged uv exposure is practical, 

 

age, well solve that & your the next richest man.

There are uv-blocking films that you cover your windows with. Not sure if that is as effective as total blackout. Maybe you can also apply that to your bookcase doors.
