How does a Retroreflector work?
A retroreflector (sometimes called a retroflector or cataphote) is a device or surface that reflects radiation (usually light) back to its source with minimum scattering. Being directed, the retroflector’s reflection is brighter than that of a diffuse reflector.
What is Scotchlite reflective material?
