It has only just been launched so I am not sure that anyone will have
had experience of using it yet. There are two kinds of card and one of
them can certainly be cut down, Lynda Hillyer

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

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
