The neck of a typical PAR lamp tends to focus the light issued in the neck or heel of the lamp back onto the lamp seals. The focused lost light then tends to overheat the seal and shorten lamp life. A practical solution is to intercept this lost light with a light absorbing layer. The light is then converted to heat in the layer. The heat is then re- radiated in an unfocused fashion with only a small portion of it redirected to the seal area. The interception layer may be formed as a black top coating on the neck interior or the neck exterior if the reflector is otherwise light transmissive. Alternatively, the neck may be formed from a translucent or opaque material that then converts the light into heat in the body of the reflector wall. The neck is then specifically not metallized so as to reflect light from the internal neck surface back to the lamp seal.
