An IR investigation has been conducted of eight southern, magnetically chemically peculiar (CP2) stars brighter than sixth visual magnitudes. The data obtained show that CP2 stars, which exhibit pronounced light variability in the visible, display similar IR lightcurves, albeit with smaller amplitudes. The near-IR lightcurves appear to have no phase relation with respect to the visible ones; instead, they exhibit phase relations to the magnetic-field variations. The limited validity of the common assumption that CP2 stars behave normally in the IR, at least in the matter of the constancy of its light, is noted.
