Re-attaching a detached lens to an LED is not recommended. The entire top surface of the LED is typically molded with a silicone layer that encapsulates the lens. Attempting to re-attach the lens may compromise the integrity of this protective layer.
Important considerations:
- Damaging the top silicone layer will likely create an integrity problem if broken.
- Compromising the protective layer may affect the LED’s performance and longevity.

Recommendation: If you encounter an LED with a detached lens, it is advisable to replace the entire LED unit to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
