| At 45° incidence, Cold Mirrors reflect the visible spectrum of light and transmit the near infra-red, which contains the thermal energy i.e. Heat. Cold Mirrors are therefore another excellent alternative for transmitting the near infra-red spectrum. Cold Mirrors have a sharpe cut off between IR and Visible because they have a dielectric coating that can be controlled. Cold Mirrors are often used with tungsten lamps which are the source in a projector or lighting system. As well as stocking 45° Cold Mirrors, we also have large sheets of 0° Cold Mirror available that can be cut to custom sizes at short notice.
