    You are mixing different types of IR and on top are wrong for both cases too. We have materials for both NIR and thermal IR that absorb or reflect them.

      I’ve been wrong before, this wouldn’t be the first time. But what part of it was wrong? Genuinely, can you clear it up?

      As far as absorbing IR light, I’m not even sure how that would work, wouldn’t it just be emitted again as heat?
