Sort of. The concave mirror will collect all the light of a larger area, and concentrate it into a small spot. This will not change the colour temperature of the light, but will increase the watts per square centimetre at the focus.

In hairdressers so that the customer may see the result, front and back. To collect sunlight for solar power generation. You can also use them for reflecting light, like a disco ball. Light houses. We can also use mirrors for telescopes, Morse code and the most simple to see ourselves.
