Light is a constant and there isn't gravitational lensing between the Earth and Sun. Any light from the Sun always reaches us at the same speed of roughly 8 minutes
That's what I said (minus a typo).
(to nitpick however... there is some effect on the timing depending on how the planets align... wonder how a Moon right on its path impacted it)
