Hmmm.... OK. I was thinking you were describing c)

Would the light bouncing between the two pipes be enough to get
rid of the pinpoint LED effect?

Possibly. But, I don't know how much light would end up "lost"
in the process. Ideally, I'd want light throwing directly across
the hall from a reflector *through* a diffuser. The (c suggests
that light might end up coming out along the ceiling and along the
*adjacent* wall (instead of opposing wall)

I've found another (outdoor!) application -- light bar recessed in
undeside of exposed lintel spanning garage door to illuminate the
driveway -- so I'm incentivized to look more aggresively for a solution.

I think I'm out of silly ideas for now..........at least about this.
Happy huntin'.
