You can manufacture fish-eye glass domes that sit on the surface and lead to mirror-walled tubes that parascopically carry the sunlight to the deeper into the catacombs and distribute it to each chamber.
The outlets could basically just be slightly convex glass discs to fill the whole space with light, with simple aperture adjustments to control the amount of light in the room.
Similar concept, except using mirror-walled empty tubes instead of strands of clear fiber. It’s not for transmitting data, just distributing natural light.

Aren’t you just describing fiber optic cables?
