    They say that the UV light from the flash damages fine old peices of Art ...fabrics and the colours to....like sunlight it makes things fade ....leave a peice of planed wood in sunlight for a day or so and it will become much darker...it doesn't have to be directly in the sun either. Rosie....

    Oh. I know that sunlight is very damaging but I didn't realize that a quick flash of light multiplied by millions over time would do the same thing. Thank you for your reply D and Happy Tuesday to thee! :) This post was edited by RosieG at January 8, 2019 6:19 AM MST

    They say that the light from any flash are negligible ...but still ban the use of them....
