Oh, that's easy then. I thought it was something to do with the wavelength of light emitted not traveling as far. In this case you're simply not taking advantage of the design of the reflector since it's made to reflect light from a source that emits it 360*.
Thanks.
Wavelength as well, they are different, but like I said super simplified.
Depending on the color temp you go with, they can widly differ from Halogen. If you stay in the 4300K range it will be similar to a halogen, then you are losing the reflecting power.
If you go with a higher temp bulb you are getting a shorter wavelength, which has a high intensity at short distances and quickly looses its "umph".
IIRC a 6000K bulb has half the distance between peaks as a 4300K bulb.
