A reflecting mirror is disposed within the enclosure and arranged to move axially with respect to the optical axis of the beam of light between positions adjacent the aperture and remote from the aperture. A plurality of reflector segments are disposed between the movable reflector and the aperture in the enclosure, the segments each being defined as a portion of a cone or cylinder and with gaps therebetween arranged so as to permit the passage of air between the segments.
