Ok ive got my beer primary fermenting in a closet, the only problem its the same closet as all my clothes, and about 3 different times this week ive been in a hurry in the morning and left my closet doors open, exposing it to westward facing sun during the day.
Ive relaxed and had my home brew ( i still have a few from the last batch), and Ive got solar screens on those window and blinds and some sheer curtains on the inside, but light does still get into the room.
How worried should I be?
 
Not at all, It requires direct sunlight to effect the beer. The hops in beer is very sensitive to UV rays and will under a chemical change in effect causing it to become "skunky".
