No, it's a fluorescent light fader I use.  The strong UV accelerates the
problems substantially.  I don't try to relate the time in the fader to real
world display time.  All I'm interested in doing is making improvements in
the inks over what we currently have.  So, this give me a relative
performance result that does seem to relate to real world display, but there
is a huge time difference.
