A concave reflector can form a more uniform beam of light. The light
source can be an LED with a nominally lambertian radiation pattern. LED
can be high power requiring heatsink. Light reflected by reflector and
light exiting without hitting reflector can form coinciding beams of
essentially same size. Matching of sizes of reflected and unreflected
components can be achieved in part by having a tangent at a rim parallel
to axis of reflector. For some LEDs hot spot in center of beam is reduced
by curvature becoming increasingly sharp when approaching along
reflective curve a critical radius at which tangent to reflector curve in
plane containing axis of reflector has angle near 45 degrees with respect
to axis of reflector. Reflector can be used in, for example, work lights,
desk lamps, accent lights, headlamps, and flashlights. Lamps can have
multiple reflectors with one LED for each reflector.
