In theory the parabola shape reflects all light from the focus straight out (with minor spread), so we can't really direct the light beam from a mirror aimed into it. I did try tilting it various amounts but I didn't see it gain me much except for keeping the emitter out of the way of the reflected beam. The reflector lights up, very brightly. Now that I think about it, I really should look at it outside because it's probably a more tightly focused beam.
