[GBW] UV protection film/tube for fluorescent lighting

["Lesha Shaver" <leshashaver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
My landlord just installed T8 Fluorescent light fixtures in my shop, and I
wonder if anyone might advise me as to how best to protect my paper, books,
etc. from UV damage. I am trying to decide between tubes and film. Film is
much cheaper to be sure, but I wonder if anyone has any experience applying
it to the long fluorescent tube bulbs. Is it worth the extra cost to just go
with the tubes? Also, if anyone has any other methods for protecting from UV
in fluorescent bulbs. I would also love to hear if anyone has a good source
for these things.

I appreciate any help,
Lesha Shaver
