Those exposures are so minimal, nothing to worry about. Also brown bottles filter out any UV and (high energy) blue light waves.

For comparison, I had a (clear) glass of IPA get skunky within 5-10 minutes while drinking it in bright sunlight. I started to smell it. Not totally undrinkable, but I now keep them in the shade.
I also noticed that beer in brown bottles stored on or near the top shelf in beverage coolers such as used in liquor stores, can get a bit skunky too, due to their proximity to the fluorescent lights in there. But they're exposed to that probably 24/7 for weeks at end.

I'd seriously doubt your LED lights have anywhere near the intensity or high energy spectrum of sunlight. And with the relatively short exposures, RDWHAHB!

Oof, that's really reassuring!
Alright, I will chill, and will post an update when I crack one open for a taste test!
