Other people are questioning the "visible light cure" resin. Assume that it exists and works fine, it's a bit of a handling hassle, as you need to treat it like unexposed photographic film. As soon as you open the lid to take your print out the unexposed resin in the bottom of the box is going to start curing.

Other SLA printers like the Form 1 and 2 from Formlabs also cure with (barely) visible light technically (405nm laser). It normally doesn't cure fast enough for the problem you describe to be a problem, though stray light will in general cure it over time.
