UV filtering removes the most energetic part of the spectrum — museum guidance is to keep UV below about 10 microwatts per lumen — but visible light also fades material, and filtering does nothing about that. Light damage is cumulative and irreversible, so the control that matters most is still the total dose: roughly 150,000 lux-hours a year for highly sensitive material, 300,000 for moderately sensitive. Filtering plus a sensible lux level plus limited display time, together.
