Exposure of 677 dyed cloths to daylight in Melbourne, Australia, and to radiation from carbon arc and xenon arc failed to support the commonly accepted view that xenon‐arc exposures more reliably reproduce daylight exposures than do carbon‐arc exposures. In contrast the results indicated that, for Melbourne daylight at least, the carbon arc is a more reliable indicator of light fastness than the xenon arc.
