burning question for today

[ErnestoPortis]

recently i saw a video(on this forum i think) somebody made in their house where the owner of a Siklaser (120mw red maybe?) was lighting a match. it looked to me like he reflected his red beam off one full length mirror to another then lit the match. the mirrors were not optics or anything special, and he stated the "measured distance" was 120 feet. my question is- for burning is red superior to green? i know it's less $ for red. it was a pretty impressive flic .

Depends on the material, if the material is green then red is better for burning than green
