Without getting super technical, the basic difference between an LED lamp versus an incandescent is the light emitted by the LED is very directional whereas the emitted light from an incandescent lamp is random. The original parabolic reflectors were shaped to reflect and focus some of the light emitted by the lamp. As noted in previous posts the relectors are not needed when using LED lamps.
