The invention describes a lamp (1A, 1B, 1C, 1D) comprising a glass envelope (10) enclosing a light generating means (11), and an axially and/or circumferentially graded absorption coating (2A, 2B, 2C, 2D) applied to a surface of the glass envelope (10), wherein the graded absorption coating (2A, 2B, 2C, 2D) exhibits a smooth transition in a transition region (23A, 23C, 23D) from a first coated region (21 A, 21B, 21C, 21D) on the glass envelope (10) to a second coated region (22A, 22B, 22C, 22D) on the glass envelope (10). The invention further describes a lighting assembly (4) comprising a lamp according to any of claims 1 to 11 and a reflector (40) for collecting and shaping any light passing through the graded absorption coating (2A, 2B, 2C, 2D) of the lamp (1A, 1B, 1C, 1D). The invention also describes a method of manufacturing a lamp (1A, 1B, 1C, 1D) comprising a glass envelope (10) enclosing a light generating means (11), which method comprises applying an axially and/or circumferentially graded absorption coating (2A, 2B, 2C, 2D) to a surface of the glass envelope (10) such that the graded absorption coating (2A, 2B, 2C, 2D) exhibits a smooth transition in a transition region (23A, 23B, 23C, 23D) from a first coated region (21A, 21B, 21C, 21D) to a second coated region (22A, 22B, 22C, 22D).
