1. A solid state lighting (SSL) device, comprising:
a reflector having a face angled relative to a primary direction of the SSL device by a non-zero first angle Φ, wherein the face has an edge further in the primary direction than other edges of the face; and
a solid state emitter (SSE) angled relative to the primary direction by a non-zero second angle θ,
wherein the first angle Φ and the second angle θ are configured so that light emitted from the SSE is reflected by the face in the primary direction of the SSL device, and
wherein light emitted from a first peripheral region of the SSE is directed towards the edge of the reflector.
