Would require only lamp-grade optics, as opposed to image-grade mirrors etc. Surprised at the amount of leakage into the ceiling-space as shown in the initial photo. Maybe they used side-emitting fibre cable -as is likely used to line the swimming pool in the story above -so to give the photo a self-illustrative aspect, whereas in an actual installations those cables would be jacketed by a reflective inner surface protective sheathing.
