Subject: UV filters
I have recessed low-wattage recessed halogen lights (Halo housing #H-1499-T & trim #1420-P) that I use in my the space in my home dedicated to displaying antique and ancient textiles. Some textiles are under UV treated plexiglass, but not all. The lights have a round glass lens (about 2" in diameter) between the housing and the bulb--that is, between the bulb and the space it is shining into. I was wondering if it were possible to find lenses that are UV treated. If so, how much impact does the treatment have on UV reduction? Also, how much impact on UV reduction does dimming the lights have?
