I guess cylinder lights don't work perfectly with photons to begin with
somehow.
That's not the trouble,  since I've tried it using a hole in the side of a
box and a point source.  So it's nothing to do with not working with
spotlights either.  Nathan has probably said before that media won't show a
reflected light, just not sure when or where if he did say so.
