How 3M™ Scotchlite™ Reflective Material works

    Scattered reflection

    Retroreflectivity helps the eye perceive objects in low-light conditions when they are illuminated by a light source. In more scientific terms, retroreflection occurs when light rays are returned in the direction from which they came.

    Retroreflection

    Retroreflective materials appear brightest to an observer near the original light source, such as a car’s headlights. Since very little light is scattered when the light is returned, retroreflective materials enhance the contrast of the wearer for an observer near the original light source.
