If you compare a reflector and an acrylic optics (that are about a similar size) and measure the LUMENs they put out, using the same LED (LuxIII)- which one puts out more lumens, when you DON'T factor in the light that spills out on the side of an optics (so the optics would have to be in a cylinder).
Don is probably the only one who could answer that question empiricly - unless this question is obvious or has been discussed before.
I think there is some loss with a reflector as well. Or maybe you know the answer without doing any tests.
My GatLight Foto here is probably the first light that shows how much side spill optics have. I am wondering whether reflectors would be better. On the other hand I noticed that optics seem to produce better hotspots then reflectors (when being the seme size).
