To keep the fungus away. I'm sure it works for this end but what about the plastic or rubber parts if the lens has any? Should make them brittle I think.<< I made the reference to ultraviolet light but not with the intention of storing a lens under such light constantly. Someone else mentioned storing lenses in a cabinet with a standard 40 or 60 watt bulb but not ultraviolet light as a constant source. My reference to ultraviolet light was only to periodically subject a lens to such light to kill fungus. Perhaps something on the order of once a week for an hour or so. Don
