I would assume that the light emitted would be more IR range. I’m probably incorrect in that assumption but its based on atomic diameters and wavelengths. under such a situation there really is no way I’m aware of to tell if a star were helium or simply farther away and very large. in fact under the assumption that most stars are not hydrogen I would wager distances would look much closer and sizes would be smaller.
