light-struck
Photographic paper spoiled
Light-struck describes something damaged by exposure to light.
The term appears most often in photography, where light-struck film or paper has been accidentally exposed, ruining the image.
In brewing, light-struck beer has developed a skunky off-flavor from ultraviolet light reacting with hop compounds—why beer bottles are typically brown or green.
