Application of directional-mixed reflectors results in a luminance decrease of the apparent image of light emitting diodes (LEDs), which is advantageous as far as glare reduction is concerned. On the other hand, reflectors have a negative impact on luminous intensity curves of the luminaries. This work analyzes an impact of surfaces with directional-mixed reflection properties in a mirror reflector designed for a luminary equipped with high-power LEDs. We present an algorithm used to determine the shape of the reflector of the surface with small scattering, where the axis twist angle for a parabolic reflector varies in a predefined range and follows a power function.
