We consider light ray reflections in $n$-dimensional semi-infinite tube, for $n\geq 3$, made of Lambertian material. The source of light is placed far away from the exit, and the light ray is assumed to reflect so that the distribution of the direction of the reflected light ray has the density proportional to the cosine of the angle with the normal vector. We present new results on the exit distribution from the tube, and generalizations of some theorems from an earlier article, where the dimension was limited to $n=2$ and $3$.
