Heat and UV radiation are two different things 
that both cause damage to objects-- cels in this 
case-- but are often found in the same source-- 
ie, ambient lighting.

Fluorescent lights emit less heat than do 
incandescent bulbs (hence, "colder"). The way 
fluorescent lights work, though, is by converting 
UV radiation into visible light. It's my 
impression that fluorescent lights give off less 
UV rays than other light sources, unless the 
fluorescent bulb is specifically designed to give 
off UV rays (ie, in medical cases, special bulbs 
looking for mildew, etc), but I can't say for 
sure. ;o)

But overall, scanning a few times isn't going to 
hurt anything.
