Yup. Torch/flashlight. Primitive, us Brits. :)
Hmm, that's not too far removed from the concept of creating a laser, really. Bouncing an in phase signal inside a reflective medium then releasing it when it reaches a certain level.
Your idea would still need an origin light source, though. Something to get the ball rolling, as it were. After that, however. Nah, too good to be true. BTW, read Gene Wolfe's "Shadow of the Torturer" series for more on that idea.
