There was some recent debate among lighting experts on the gray cap-like. Its purpose is not fully understood by our scientists lolll other than only preventing someone to be able to look head-on to the filament. That's all it does - I'm serious. Expert on the other hand recommend against it because they have established that the energy get condensed in this area alone. Similar to what a even layer of body/finger oil does to a glass bulb. Therefore blah blah blah lighting this and that melting fire, explosion, ppl dying. You can guess the end
