Abstract
A method of carrying out an accelerated light fastness test on a sample of a material to be used under certain conditions of air convection along the surface thereof, is constituted by the steps of positioning a sample to be tested with the surface thereof which is exposed to light during intended conditions of use of the material spaced at a distance from a light source having a constant intensity of light radiated therefrom for causing the surface of the sample to receive a desired intensity of light, and positioning a filter between the surface of the sample and the light source and spaced a distance from the surface of the sample for causing air between the filter and the sample to be at the convection conditions corresponding to the certain conditions of air convection at the surface of the material under its intended conditions of use, whereby the temperature conditions of the material at the surface facing the source of light are made to correspond to the temperature conditions during the intended use of the material.
