Witchcraft or black magic? 200% efficiency???

I think I get it though (at least enough not to go looking for a torch and pitchfork). Normally we see heat emission as 'bad' or waste, but heat's just an IR photon, right? So this is just a visible photon instead, and since that is more useful to us it is 'good'? Something like that?

Still sounds like witchcraft...
