Contrary to what HIMNL9 wrote, surface roughness and reflectivity are completely unrelated. Reflection can be direct (mirror) or diffuse (white wall). The corrugated ("orange peel", OP) reflectors, commonly used in LED flashlights to create a more even beam, don't lose light, they just distribute it differently.
