Lamp with heat-shielding element

A lamp comprising:

• a light emitting element arranged within a sealed transparent vessel, wherein:
• the vessel comprises at least a cylindrical section with a longitudinal axis (L) arranged in parallel to a longitudinal axis (F) of the light emitting element;
• and
• the cylindrical section of the vessel encloses the light emitting element;
• and
• a heat shielding element arranged to shield at least infrared light emitted from the light emitting element, wherein:
• the heat shielding element is arranged in parallel to the longitudinal axis (F) of the light emitting element and has an axial extension of at least 80% of an axial length of the light emitting element;
• the heat shielding element is arranged to shield infrared light emitted from the light emitting element into directions perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (F) of the light emitting element covering a circumferential extension of at least 20° and at most 120° measured in cross-section from the longitudinal axis (F) of the light emitting element;
• the heat shielding element, when the lamp is arranged horizontally within a reflector of a vehicle headlight, is arranged above the light emitting element;
• the heat shielding element is at least partly reflective of visible light;
• and
• the heat shielding element is shaped to create a mirror image of the light emitting element and the mirror image is located between the light emitting element and the heat shielding element.
