Abstract:We consider a Poisson point process on 
$$\mathbb{R}^2$$
with intensity lambda, and at each Poisson point we place a two sided mirror of random length and orientation. The length and orientation of a mirror is taken from a fixed distribution, and is independent of the lengths and orientations of the other mirrors. We ask if light shone from the origin will remain in a bounded region. We find that there exists a 
$$\lambda _H^ *$$
with 0 < 
$$\lambda _H^*$$
< infin for which, if 
$$\lambda$$
< 
$$\lambda _H^*$$
, light leaving the origin in all but a countable number of directions will travel arbitrariliy far from the origin with positive probability. Also, if 
$$\lambda$$
> 
$$\lambda _H^*$$
, light from the origin will almost surely remain in a bounded region.
