dubble yew,
No worries, I can understand your concerns about going away from the norm. I was equally as sceptical until I investigated it in detail and got to understand how Titanium Dioxide is used in so many industrial applications.
The system has been used in America for years with great success and also on the Minimax here for many years too, with no problems.
UV doesn't actually need 'darkness' to be filtered out. Yes, darkness is a pretty robust method of eliminating it, but this system utilises a more modern approach, and one that is included in many commercial anti-UV applications.
As you say, I agree it is a good idea for a test panel too. It will give us peace of mind that we can monitor something that has had far greater exposure to UV and the elements than a Turb that'll spend 98% of its time in a hangar!
