I have never heard that light will have more of and affect on albinos. Ball pythons really don't need full spectrum lighting as it is. I think it's good to have a photo period but that can be accomplished with a window or a light on in the room.
The only thing I notice about my Albino is that he's the only one of my snakes who will burrow but that might just be his own weirdness.
However, I wouldn't doubt that Albinos do indeed have some extent of sight damage just due to the nature that Albinism works. There's no black pigment to shield the delicate rods/cones of the eye, the light just shows right through their and will damage the cells, but I really don't think this is much of a hinderance for the snakes and they get on just fine so yeah, don't worry about it.
