Reflector lamp having a reflecting section with faceted surfaces

A reflector lamp comprising:

• a substantially parabolic primary reflecting section;
• a secondary reflecting section having a contour distinct from said primary reflecting section joined to said primary reflecting section;
• a tertiary reflecting section having a contour distinct from said secondary reflecting section and joined to said secondary reflecting section opposite said primary reflecting section;
• and
• a light source contained within said primary and secondary sections;
• wherein said primary, secondary and tertiary reflecting sections form a substantially concave reflector having a rear section joined to said tertiary reflecting section;
• said primary, secondary, tertiary, and rear sections being coated with a reflective material;
• each of said secondary and tertiary reflecting sections having faceted surfaces longitudinally extending along the surface thereof, and being positioned to redirect a substantial portion of the light reflected thereby to avoid said light source so that the light absorbed or scattered by said light source is reduced.
