I stumbled accross a website offering a smooth optional reflector for the M20 Warrior stating the smoother surface would increase the throw and make for a tighter beam.

The reflector in my T10C2 has some superduper orange peel which is suppose to maximize the throw. Will this smooth reflector for the M20 really improve the throw or is it just marketing? Thanks.
 
Smooth reflectors, when the reflector remains the same geometry, invariably offer a tighter beam and thus enhanced throw . This is at the expense of a 'smooth' beam profile and some added spill.

In the M20 the smooth reflector will definitely enhance throw.

Orange peel reflectors exist to smooth beam profiles and increase spill; not to enhance throw.
