Smart Level has gone stupid

I've had this 4' smart level for many years and its always worked fine, though it doesn't get used much. The other day I went to use it and discovered that the spirit levels (both of em) are no longer full of that nice green liquid, but have gone clear. It looks like all the green has collected at one end of each tube and hardened. They still work, but are significantly harder to see. Has anybody run into this and is there a fix?
 
Problem explained; not fixed

I just heard from the Smart Level folks. They said that the dye in the vials gets ruined by exposure to UV light, and there is no fix. I really don't remember where that level was stored in my previous garage, but I'm sure it was indoors. Anyway, if you own one, you should keep it in a dark place.
 
Thanks for the info Steve

I think that I will start making sure I put mine away instead of just leaving it were I last used it.
