When Rimmer is inside the ship, Holly projects rimmer, independantly of his light bee.
and Rimmer may be experimenting with his tangiability and making sure he can pass through the table, in order to make his appearance.

I'll just point out that in the first 2 series, Rimmer is never credited with having a light bee and cannot leave the ship as holly needs to project him from in side red dwarf or blue midget until series 3 onwards he gets a more portable projection source his light bee. The only exception is in series 2 in the episode thanks for the memory where Rimmer is in a hologram tic projection cage of which he cannot leave the confines of.
