I haven't seen issues in albino snakes, but I do have experience with albino turtles. It seems like it's 50/50 as to whether or not they will be able to maintain a steady diet or have genetic nutritional problems. I wouldn't worry too much about lighting, although a little less would be better. Like other people have said, you shouldn't really need it unless you want it for display. In that case make sure your animal can get away from the light if they so desire.
Edit: I HIGHLY recommend finding a way to add additional Vitamin A to their diet if possible (maybe put supplements inside the mouth/throat of their prey item...?). It seems like albino animals need increased Vitamin A levels due to their sensitive eyes, although again the severity depends a lot on genetics. Some barely have problems, others suffer greatly. The albino turtle I mentioned earlier had a perfectly healthy sibling, it just seems the the one turtle got the short end of the genetic stick.
