Broken headlamps screen direct light from view (9)

I believe the answer is:

lampshade

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'screen direct light from view' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'broken headlamps' is the wordplay.
'broken' indicates an anagram.
'headlamps' is an anagram of 'LAMPSHADE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lampshade that I've seen before include "To give light cover" , "bit of furniture" , "Cover for bulb" , "light fitting" , "Cover for domestic light" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
