I`ve also recently "lamp burned" the leaves of my angraecum sesquipedale,
cattleya warszewiczii and maxilaria tenuifolia. I just wanted them to have
some more light .... ((((. There have quite big brown "scars" but nothing
else happens, so I think the plants should be fine.

lamp burned somewhat -- it has brown areas on the leaf where it was
closest
to the lamp. I have now moved it away from the lamp of course, is there
anything else I should do (other than being more careful from now on)?
Should I leave the leaves be? or cut off the burned parts? should I
treat it
with anything?

Hi Joanna, I vote for doing nothing. Watch it to be sure rot doesn't set
in and start spreading to more of the leaf. In real life, I find that
burned leaves usually stay out of trouble but will yellow and drop if a
really large part of the leaf gets burned. Unfortunately, I've burned a
lot of leaves over the years. Almost always when the plants were out for
the summer and I misjudged where the sun would hit in the afternoon.
