A lamp has a light emitting element within a sealed transparent vessel. The vessel comprises a cylindrical section with a longitudinal axis L in parallel to a longitudinal axis F of the light emitting element. In order to provide a lamp suited for compact reflectors, a heat shielding element is arranged to shield at least infrared light. 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 the light emitting element. The heat shielding element is arranged to shield infrared light emitted into directions perpendicular to the longitudinal axis F covering a circumferential extension of 20°-120° measured in cross section.

A headlamp assembly for a vehicle includes housing for coupling the headlamp assembly to a vehicle and a heat sink structure having a first side, a second side, a first edge, and a second edge. A first light emitting diode assembly and a second light emitting diode assembly are each electrically connected to a circuit board. The second edge of the heat sink structure directly contacts an inner surface of the housing, such that the housing is separated into first and second sections by the heat sink structure. Illumination of the first light emitting diode assembly results in a low beam and illumination of both the first light emitting diode assembly and the second light emitting diode assembly results in a high beam.
