You pass the first room to enter the second room. It isn't that dim like the first room so it is easier to see. You see another combination, but this time you see something scraped on the wall that's different from the last code. It says "54686572652069732061206c69676874206e6561722c2062757420746865206c696768742069736e5c2774207468652077617920746f207468652070757a7a6c652e2049745c2773206a7573742061207374657020636c6f7365722e". Right under it says "Six and a math term." What does this mean?

"Six and a math term" just means hexadecimal, which is actually base 16 (not binary).

Hex to ascii translation results in:

There is a light near, but the light isn\'t the way to the puzzle. It\'s just a step closer.

Take the code and paste it here.
You will get:

There is a light near, but the light isn\'t the way to the puzzle. It\'s just a step closer.

This is not binary, but rather, hexadecimal.
