Help with In Home Display

If I were you I would get a black out curtain for that window and just rely on the fixture for light. Best case scenario is the room is pitch black (or close to it) when not in use.

+1 Very good idea that seems like a great solution.

Just for clarification, I have a framed display of some cards, and the cards are never in direct light, but they are in a room that gets natural light from the bedroom window, that is not safe, unless the glass to the framed display is UV protected?

I am not an expert by any means but I would say if you have something really valuable you might want it protected from indirect sunlight. My photo on my wall uses uv protective glass. The other stuff, I don't care quite as much about but of course, still no direct sun, ever.

Thanks, Leon.

Thanks for all the input. Let me throw out another variable. I will be displaying my cards in the same room as my guitars. Optimal relative humidity for guitars is 40%-50%. I'm having some difficulty finding optimal relative humidity for baseball cards, but I've seen a couple of suggestions of 35%-50%. Does that sound about right? I hope so - makes it easier to take care of them both.
