Question??
What kind of a beam pattern would a smooth deep reflector with no taper get? like a tincan with the lid cut off?

I have a Maglite that has a normal reflector but it has a 6" shade on the end of it that I use for work (sort of like a rifle scope shade) and it has no spill at all just a beam of light like a light sabre.

It wouldn't be a reflector. It wouldn't result in a collimated beam. It would be all flood (no reflector) with a narrower beam which would be determined by the depth of the "pipe".
