Frank, Because with sideways-pointing LEDs, less of the light hits shallow reflectors. With deeper reflectors, the bulb sits further into the bucket, so the bucket catches more of that side-firing light. Simple geometry.
Since I'm pontificating, what I would REALLY like to see (pun intended), are LEDS mounted on the center stalk but angled back toward the reflector at least 45 degrees. Then most of the light would hit the reflector and get focused through the lens.
