Even with the procedure you mentioned before, the time needed for light to travel that distance is 1 year by the definition of "light year" :-). It's the same thing as talking about converting meters to minutes, .. it doesn't work (unless you have a constant speed in your mind, then you talk about the time it takes to cover that distance, but this is not general).
