** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'': Light-based puzzles are present in both Ikana Castle and Stone Tower Temple, though the Mirror Shield appears earlier in the final room of the Gibdo's well. In the temple, the Mirror Shield can be used to store light in special mirrors and eventually redirect them onto a sun target. For added difficulty, the light is only stored in the mirror for as long as you shine light on it and won't shine until you stop, so if you're too slow you have to go back and start over again. Worse still, there's a room where some enemies appear constantly to interrupt your process, though this can be eased with the use of the Stone Mask (which makes you invisible). These puzzles are later trivialized with the collection of the Light Arrows, which are capable of activating any light-sensitive target.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'': The Earth Temple sports this during the second half, with mirrors that always reflect "forward"; both you and your EscortMission (Medli, the newly chosen Earth Sage) have reflective items (respectively, the Mirror Shield which is found here and the Rito harp that originally belonged to Zora Sage Laruto). At times you must use your shield to bounce light onto her mirror, to illuminate a third mirror which reflects light onto a series of other mirrors. The room leading to the Boss Key has a famously complex puzzle where, counting the characters' reflective items, a total of '''ten''' mirrors has to be used to illuminate a face that opens the door to the Boss Key's room.

* ''VideoGame/AssaultOnVampireIsland'' has a variation where you need to rotate the lamp of a lighthouse.
* ''VideoGame/{{Avernum}} III'' has several of the laser variety in the Golem Factory and the Concealed Passage. The puzzle is generally to put the mirrors in such an alignment that the lasers won't [[InsurmountableWaistHighFence block your path]], but you can also turn the lasers back on the laser generators and destroy them all to express your true feelings for these kind of puzzles. As an aside, this is one of the few places where the game was changed significantly from the earlier ''VideoGame/{{Exile}}'' series, which used conveyor belts in the equivalent dungeons -- these were deemed incompatible with the new engine.
* The Robinson Crusoe segment of ''VideoGame/{{Azada}} 2'' requires you to connect several spots to one another with a single laser beam.

The Viper's special ability is to call on a nearby beam cannon to shoot at it, whereupon it uses its belly-mounted mirror to bounce the laser at a target, effectively doubling its range.

You are first given some information (pictures from a school trip, your best friend's phone number, etc.) that you must choose who to share with. All these people will be on the board, and you must shoot the laser so it bounces off the mirrors and hits only them. Later levels introduce "don't let the information get to anyone" challenges and purple, rotating mirrors.

It employs Force Bolts instead of light, with the added challenge of preventing your opponent from reflecting his Force Bolts into your territory.
* The Reflector in ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankUpYourArsenal'' is normally used for these. Different from most other examples in that it incorporates a field that absorbs the beam, and an emitter that can be pointed anywhere.

* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' features this as a recurring thematic puzzle in some games:
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'': The Spirit Temple features puzzles of this kind for both Child and Adult Link, though since Child Link is unable to use the Mirror Shield he has to manipulate the light's direction with conventional methods (such as redirecting a traditional mirror, moving a light-sensitive block or blowing up a fragile wall). Adult Link, who ''can'' use the Mirror Shield, is able to bring light to spots where it wouldn't otherwise reach with the conventional mirrors. These puzzles return, in a lesser capacity, in the final dungeon.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'': Light-based puzzles are present in both Ikana Castle and Stone Tower Temple, though the Mirror Shield appears earlier in the final room of the Gibdo's well. In the temple, the Mirror Shield can be used to store light in special mirrors and eventually redirect them onto a sun target. For added difficulty, the light is only stored in the mirror for as long as you shine light on it and won't shine until you stop, so if you're too slow you have to go back and start over again. Worse still, there's a room where some enemies appear constantly to interrupt your process, though this can be eased with the use of the Stone Mask (which makes you invincible). These puzzles are later trivialized with the collection of the Light Arrows, which are capable of activating any light-sensitive target.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'': The Earth Temple sports this during the second half, with mirrors that always reflect "forward"; both you and your EscortMission (Medli, the newly chosen Earth Sage) have reflective items (respectively, the Mirror Shield which is found here and the Rito harp that originally belonged to Zora Sage Laruto). At times you must use your shield to bounce light onto her mirror, to illuminate a third mirror which reflects light onto a series of other mirrors. The room leading to the Boss Key has a famously complex puzzle where, counting the characters' reflective items, a total of '''ten''' mirrors has to be used to illuminate a face that opens the door to the Boss Key's room.

* This occurs throughout Woohoo Hooniversity in ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. The player never gets to directly manipulate the mirrors. Instead, they align themselves as you complete the SolveTheSoupCans puzzles.

* ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' has a very large and very difficult 3D one. It's difficult partly because of its construction (even including multiple colors) and partly because the "Temple of Light" is full of monsters. Specifically, monsters that have low hp, high attack, and a high spawn rate, making there no good way to deal with them. If you ignore them they keep hurting you; if you fight them they keep coming back. And even if you're immune to damage with prayer, their attacks still automatically close all menus, meaning you have to click through the menus to rotate the mirror in the second or two between each attack. On the positive side, if you enter the mirror rotation menu before you draw aggro from a Shadow, it will be unable to attack you until you exit the window. This can be utilized to allow your life points and run energy to restore.

* This is the recurring thematic puzzle in sone ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' games:
** The Spirit Temple in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' features puzzles of this kind for both Child and Adult Link, though since Child Link is unable to use the Mirror Shield he has to manipulate the light's direction with conventional methods (such as redirecting a traditional mirror, moving a light-sensitive block or blowing up a fragile wall). Adult Link, who ''can'' use the Mirror Shield, is able to bring light to spots where it wouldn't otherwise reach with the conventional mirrors. These puzzles return, in a lesser capacity, in the final dungeon.
** Light-based puzzles are present in both Ikana Castle and Stone Tower Temple in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'', though the Mirror Shield appears earlier in the final room of the Gibdo's well. In the temple, the Mirror Shield can be used to store light in special mirrors and eventually redirect them onto a sun target. For added difficulty, the light is only stored in the mirror for as long as you shine light on it and won't shine until you stop, so if you're too slow you have to go back and start over again. Worse still, there's a room where some enemies appear constantly to interrupt your process, though this can be eased with the use of the Stone Mask (which makes you invincible). These puzzles are later trivialized with the collection of the Light Arrows, which are capable of activating any light-sensitive target.
** The Earth Temple in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'' sports this during the second half, with mirrors that always reflect "forward"; both you and your EscortMission (Medli, the newly chosen Earth Sage) have reflective items (respectively, the Mirror Shield which is found here and the Rito harp that originally belonged to Zora Sage Laruto). At times you must use your shield to bounce light onto her mirror, to illuminate a third mirror which reflects light onto a series of other mirrors. The room leading to the Boss Key has a famously complex puzzle where, counting the characters' reflective items, a total of '''ten''' mirrors has to be used to illuminate a face that opens the door to the Boss Key's room.

** The Spirit Temple in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime''(but only features puzzles of this kind for both Child and Adult Link, though since Child Link is unable to use the Mirror Shield), Shield he has to manipulate the Earth Temple in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'' (with mirrors that always reflect "forward", and notably both you and your EscortMission have reflective items; at times you must use your shield to bounce light onto her light's direction with conventional methods (such as redirecting a traditional mirror, moving a light-sensitive block or blowing up a fragile wall). Adult Link, who ''can'' use the Mirror Shield, is able to illuminate a third mirror, which reflects bring light onto to spots where it wouldn't otherwise reach with the conventional mirrors. These puzzles return, in a series of other mirrors), lesser capacity, in the final dungeon.
** Light-based puzzles are present in both Ikana Castle andthe Stone Tower Temple in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'' (where you have to use ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'', though the Mirror Shield appears earlier in the final room of the Gibdo's well. In the temple, the Mirror Shield can be used to store light in special mirrors and eventually direct redirect them onto a sun target. For added difficulty, the light is only stored in the mirror for as long as you shine light on it and won't shine until you stop, so if you're too slow you have to go back and start over again). again. Worse still, there's a room where some enemies appear constantly to interrupt your process, though this can be eased with the use of the Stone Mask (which makes you invincible). These puzzles are later trivialized with the collection of the Light Arrows, which are capable of activating any light-sensitive target.
** The Earth Temple in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'' sports this during the second half, with mirrors that always reflect "forward"; both you and your EscortMission (Medli, the newly chosen Earth Sage) have reflective items (respectively, the Mirror Shield which is found here and the Rito harp that originally belonged to Zora Sage Laruto). At times you must use your shield to bounce light onto her mirror, to illuminate a third mirror which reflects light onto a series of other mirrors. The room leading to the Boss Key has a famously complex puzzle where, counting the characters' reflective items, a total of '''ten''' mirrors has to be used to illuminate a face that opens the door to the Boss Key's room.

* ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' has a very large and very difficult 3D one. It's difficult partly because of its construction (even including multiple colors) and partly because the "Temple of Light" is full of monsters.
** Specifically, monsters that have low hp, high attack, and a high spawn rate, making there no good way to deal with them. If you ignore them they keep hurting you; if you fight them they keep coming back. And even if you're immune to damage with prayer, their attacks still automatically close all menus, meaning you have to click through the menus to rotate the mirror in the second or two between each attack. On the positive side, if you enter the mirror rotation menu before you draw aggro from a Shadow, it will be unable to attack you until you exit the window. This can be utilized to allow your life points and run energy to restore.

** Half-Life Decay included a laser and mirror puzzle.
* ''VideoGame/StarWarsDroidworks'' has two missions that play this straight. There's the "Laser-Powered Fusion Reactor" in the Phrik metal mine, which you have to fix twice in a row [[spoiler:(although it's implied that the assassin droid hiding there sabotaged them deliberately to bait you)]]; and later, a series of ''laser-and-angles'' puzzles are used to view the data crystals you collected from the previous missions. The mirror controls become more and more broken the farther you go.

* An episode of ''Series/{{Bones}}'' had the team wondering how the killer could be watching them regardless of where they were in a cluttered storeroom. The solution turned out to be that the killer had set up mirrors that reflected back to a single camera in this manner. The team demonstrated this by using a laser pointer aimed at the mirrors, and watching as [[ArtisticLicensePhysics the beam slowly bounces between the mirrors and significantly less than the speed of light.]]

** "The Five Doctors": The First Doctor and his granddaughter Susan are in a building with reflective walls and a Dalek.
