Do I need to be concerned about light if using plastic primary?

[brewssuds]

I use a white, food grade plastic bucket for my primary with either an airlock or a blowoff tube. Do I need to be concerned about light skunking my beer?

(I'm pretty sure the answer is "no", just need confirmation).

nope. Ale Pails are not going to cause any problems.

Just don't leave it in direct sunlight. I've been brewing in buckets for 8 years without a single skunk. Well, except for Skippy, but he's dead.

Ha, yea. they are fine as long as you don't leave it in direct sunlight, under a bank of UV lights, show it off to any total eclipses of the sun...
