1. A solid state lighting (SSL) device, comprising:
a reflective surface angled relative to a primary direction of the SSL device by a non-zero first angle Φ, wherein the reflective surface has a forward portion located further in the primary direction than a remainder of the reflective surface; 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 reflective surface in the primary direction of the SSL device, and
wherein light emitted from a first peripheral region of the SSE is directed towards the forward portion of the reflector.
