I'm having a yard sale. Mirrors are made of Glass and seem to reflect everything that is sees. Maybe a glass lens might magnify the light. I just Googled DYI infrared lighting and was entertained for quite some time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_SbeFHUJos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
