Hmm... are you trying to create a light-source that will automatically
bounce off mirrors, refract, etc?

AFAIK, while mirrors do reflect objects, without advanced stuff like photons
/ rad, the light itself will not bounce (thus lighting other objects). If
all you need to achieve is the laser "effect", the cylinders might work the
most directly.
