Re: textile fading card

[Susan Heald <healds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This sounds like a very interesting product!  Has anyone had any experiences using LightCheck in their exhibition spaces?  I am curious about how easy it is to read the color change and if the monitoring cards can be cut down into narrow strips so the designers won't have fits about another monitoring device installed inside a case.    Thanks - Susan

A new dosimeter has been developed by the Lido project - a collaboration
of European partners. This is a simple card which measures visible
colour change - see www.lightcheck.co.uk 

Hope this is of use,

Hello-
I have been asked about something called either a "textile fading
card"
or a "textile saving card".  This was described as a felt-type card
that indicates when a textile should be removed to avoid fading.
Does anyone have any information about this?
Thank you-
Judy Schwender
