What is this element?

The pic is a cdm 150w globe. Just curious if anyone knows what the circular element in the center of the metal tab is? It's hard to see --look near the top inside of the globe. Thermistor maybe?
Does this element need to be oriented toward the lens when the bulb is inserted or does it even matter?
Thanks in advance.
