Hello,
   I've only had a moment to skim your code, but you will need photons 
to be able to have the light do anything after it reflects.  I was 
messing with something very similar a while back and wrote something 
about it here that might help.  Basically I needed to end up bumping up 
my photons media parameter (though yours is probably plenty high, just 
enable it) and really increasing the media samples.

Here's the message:

There's some other good suggestions in the rest of the thread as well.

This is the scene file when I finally got it working:

Hope its helpful.
