UV Light Affects DVDs, Discs?
 
1 I have a good white box for keep my discs, To protect the UV disks can I keep the disk in some cardboard box of white color? Cardboard box white color reflects light uv on disks or not?

2 Indirect sunlight, led lamp light, fluorescent lamp light in these 3 cases the light degrades the polycarbonate plastic in long term-storage?

If the box is closed, who cares what color it is?

It could be blue with pink polka dots, and nobody would care -- aside from Smurfette, of course. :)

Light can damage clear plastic. It turns opaque over time. Source just determines speed, with sun being fastest.

So don't store discs in the sun in an open box. Easy. [88]
