Default Card exposure to light - effects

Hi there - I display my collection in my home office, with many arrayed on desk space and in a case mounted on a wall. What is your take on risks from light exposure (sun, lamp), e.g., fading, color bleaching?

All cards are in PSA cases, and the wall mount may have some sort of tint protection (bought on ebay). No direct sunlight falls on the cards, but there are torch lamps in the room and lamps are used maybe 2-3 days per week.

I love the look of cards on the wall as more or less wall art, and this helps justify the expense to my wife - at least a little.

So, I would hate to move the cards to storage in a dark / cool / dry space and miss out on seeing the cards every day - but I also want to protect them.

Thoughts on risks/rewards of displaying?
