The two essential components of the kit are the luminous sticks/spot glow and the High Visibility waistcoat. Both appear to be simple equipment however both are based on the design and application of leading edge technology.
How the reflective stripe on a High Visibility waistcoat works.
This is all about glass lens technology and retro reflection, virtually a science in itself. The leading research and application of this technology has been progressed through a company called 3M.
What is Retro Reflection?
3M™ Scotchlite™ Reflective Materials use a technology known as retro reflection. Retro reflection occurs when light rays are returned in the direction from which they came.
Imagine a child is walking at the roadside. A car is approaching with its headlights on. If the child were wearing a garment incorporating Scotchlite Reflective Material, a large amount of reflected light would be returned directly towards the original light source i.e. the car thus increasing the visibility of the child to the driver.
Glass lens technology utilizes millions of high performance glass beads that reflect light very effectively in all directions due to their spherical nature. Round glass beads provide 100% surface reflection, making it the most efficient way of reflecting light.
