Do not stack PCBs or assemblies containing XLamp MT Family or MK Family LeDs so that anything rests on the LeD lens. Force applied 
to the LeD lens may result in the lens being damaged or displaced. PCBs or assemblies containing XLamp MT Family or MK Family LeDs 
should be stacked in a way to allow at least 1 cm clearance above the LeD lens.

Do not use bubble wrap directly on top of XLamp MT Family and MK Family LeDs. Force from the bubble wrap can potentially damage 
the LeD.
