Alex, looks like you have lots of great information here. Light is definitely something we all need to be aware of when thinking about preventative conservation. It impacts all types of collections. Great references and good details regarding light levels numbers. Are there any links to other Wikipedia pages that might apply? I like how you use the term "repository" to keep the definition broad. Though it might be helpful to put in some examples, perhaps by adding something like "such as museums, libraries, historic sites, or privately held collections." I also like your use of bullet points. Putting the typically recommended light levels (for different types of media) in bullet points, or a table, as well, would make for easier reading. Also, the organization of your outline might work better if you moved the section on types of Light Radiation further up in the article. Thanks for writing on this important topic!

Hi Alex, Nicole has already given some really great advice to you on how to improve the article. I agree that adding more internal links will help to improve your article. When writing about something that you already know a great deal about it is easy to forget that not everyone has the same base knowledge and will need links to easily understand specific vocabulary. For example, making internal links to all of the different kinds of light and radiation you mention ( UV, infrared, visible light, etc.) would be very helpful. I also think that you've got some great references, but that you might need more still with some of the claims made in the lead, such as your stated fact about the accumulation of light over time being the most damaging. You've done an excellent job at maintaining an academic and neutral tone throughout the article and it is well written and structured. Great beginning!
