I had read that LED lighting is now recommended as a replacement for tungsten in archival situations. Is that wrong?

The article doesn't mention what kind of LED lights were used. They probably used LEDs that emit light in the UV spectrum (like sunlight). They would probably get similar results if they put the pigment in a tanning bed.

Well if you're not using a 410 nm LED, this research probably isn't relevant.
