1. A solid-state lighting lamp, comprising:
a glass tube, the glass tube being open at both ends,
a glass bulb, the glass tube being arranged inside the glass bulb and directly attached to the glass bulb,
an internal member at least partly arranged inside the glass tube, and
optical means arranged on the glass tube, completely covering an inner surface of the glass tube and adapted to at least partly cloak the internal member; and
wherein the optical means are adapted to redirect light striking the optical means so as to alter the visibility of the internal member.
2. The solid-state lighting lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the optical means is a surface structure on the glass tube.
3. The solid-state lighting lamp according to claim 1 , wherein an end of the glass tube and an end of the glass bulb are melted together.
4. A solid-state lighting lamp, comprising:
a glass tube, the glass tube being open at both ends,
a glass bulb, the glass tube being arranged inside the glass bulb and directly attached to the glass bulb,
an internal member at least partly arranged inside the glass tube, and
optical means arranged on the glass tube, completely covering an inner surface of the glass tube and adapted to at least partly cloak the internal member; and
wherein the optical means is an optical foil.
5. The solid-state lighting lamp according to claim 4 , wherein the optical means is a prismatic foil.
6. The solid-state lighting lamp according to claim 4 , wherein the optical means is a brightness enhancement foil.
7. The solid-state lighting lamp according to claim 4 , wherein the optical means is a plastic optical foil.
8. A solid-state lighting lamp, comprising:
a glass tube,

a solid-state lighting unit adapted to emit light, wherein the solid-state unit is in thermal contact with the heat spreader.
9. The solid-state lighting lamp according to claim 8 , wherein the internal member further comprises a driver arranged at least partly inside the cylindrical heat spreader and electrically connected to the solid-state lighting unit.
10. The solid-state lighting lamp according to claim 8 , wherein the cylindrical heat spreader has a second section extending outside the glass tube, and wherein an end cap of the solid-state lighting lamp is attached to the second section of the cylindrical heat spreader.
11. The solid-state lighting lamp according to claim 10 , wherein the end cap is connectable to an Edison screw socket.
12. The solid-state lighting lamp according to claim 10 , wherein the glass tube extends beyond a top of the first section of the cylindrical heat spreader as seen along a longitudinal axis of the solid-state lighting lamp in a direction away from the end cap.
13. A solid-state lighting lamp, comprising:
a glass tube, the glass tube being open at both ends, and comprising a glass surface structure;
a glass bulb, the glass tube being arranged inside the glass bulb and joined with the glass bulb;
an internal member at least partly arranged inside the glass tube; and,
an optical means formed on the glass tube, completely covering an inner surface of the glass tube; wherein the optical means comprises the glass surface structure, and is adapted to at least partly cloak the internal member.
