is my Raycast being reflected correctly and why is it giving me an infinite loop?

I'm trying to build a light source that emits light from it's position and to the forward direction, which is visualized using a Line Renderer, and using RayCast() I want to detect weather or not it collides with an object and if so I want to reflect the light and on it goes

my implementation so far, which is causing me an infinite while loop

 void Update () {
 
         //for debugging purposes count how many reflections I get
         loopCount = 0;
         //a Rays object simply hold two Vector3 values, a starting position and a direction
         Rays ray = new Rays(startPos.position, startPos.forward);//
 
 
         while (Physics.Raycast(ray.rayPosition, ray.rayDirection, out hit, distance)) {
             
             //in case it hits then I want to store the position of the collider and its direction
             //to be used in the next Raycast itteration
             Vector3 reflection = Vector3.Reflect(ray.rayDirection, hit.normal);
             ray = new Rays(hit.point, reflection);
             
             loopCount++;
             
         }
         Debug.Log(loopCount);

I can't figure out why I'm getting an infinite loop , unless my new rays are reflecting in correctly so that I'm always getting a true value from my Raycast()
