Reflexes

What do reflectors mean? We share the definition of reflectors and also explain the distances at which a person with and without reflectors is detected.

The reflector is an optical product that is made of a material developed to reflect the light rays that meet the surface of the reflector. When a reflector meets the light from, for example, a car's headlights, the light is reflected, which means that the motorist can see you significantly better. Reflectors are used with advantage in dark conditions, a person wearing reflectors can for example be seen up to 125 meters away in the dark, unlike a person without reflectors who can be detected as short as 25 meters away.
