Light-absorbing materials have the physical property of converting incident light into heat. Damage may occur to heat
sensitive or flammable light absorbing materials. To avoid such thermal damage and the potential danger of fire or
burns, please adhere to the following instructions:

Never block the optical output aperture or place any part of the body in the light output path.
