Description
A general term for a chamber used to expose materials to a Carbon arc lamp under controlled and monitored conditions. The intense actinic light will fade non-fast colors in a manner that is similar, but faster, than exposure to sunlight. Fadeometers are used to determine the comparative resistance to fading for sets of materials such as textiles, dyes, paints, and resins.
