LED lights

I recently got a young bearded dragon (approximately 3 months old) and so far everything with him has been great.However tonight as I was coming into the room he is kept in ,I was using a flashlight to navigate the room because all the lights were off.I accidentally dropped the flashlight right next to the tank he is kept in and he was awake and presumably looked directly at the light for a moment.Is this dangerous for him ,and if so how to I look for signs of damage?

It was a white low power LED or a high powered laser LED?A regular low power LED is harmless,in fact Zoo Med makes LED and Fluorescent tank lights for reptiles with a T5 Reptisun tube:

It's arguably probably the nicest reptile single fixure available.

It was the led flashlight on my phone and it was maybe a foot away from the little guy.

It won't affect him in the least,in fact most phones only have a single LED.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
