Will it fade....

[Alex]

....because I keep my bike in my bedroom which isnt the largest room in the world and it is roughly a metre away from a reptile vivarium
My bearded dragon needs a UV lamp, and Im concerned this is going to fade the beautiful white green and black paint work, since I've heard direct sunlight doesnt do much good
the lamp is ''12% UVB 25w''

Your paint will be OK, but the rubber of your tyres won't like UV.

However even they will probably be OK because the glass of the vivarium will block the UV.

As above, also the UV drops considerably the further you get from the lamp.
If your bikes more than a metre away I doubt it would receive any significant levels.

I must admit it's something I've never even considered with our Beardie!
