Abstract:
A reflector lamp comprising:a substantially parabolic primary reflecting section; a secondary reflecting section having a contour distinct from said primary reflecting section joined to said primary reflecting section; a tertiary reflecting section having a contour distinct from said secondary reflecting section and joined to said secondary reflecting section opposite said primary reflecting section; and a light source contained within said primary and secondary sections; wherein said primary, secondary and tertiary reflecting sections form a substantially concave reflector having a rear section joined to said tertiary reflecting section; said primary, secondary, tertiary, and rear sections being coated with a reflective material; each of said secondary and tertiary reflecting sections having faceted surfaces longitudinally extending along the surface thereof, and being positioned to redirect a substantial portion of the light reflected thereby to avoid said light source so that the light absorbed or scattered by said light source is reduced.
