Reflector Guide

What is a pedestrians reflector?

There is a saying that a reflector is the worlds cheapest life insurance. It costs a couple of euros and it can save the rest of your lives ability to work. Car drivers can hardly see a pedestrian in the dark or dusk. A flashing reflector ties the drivers attention and sees the pedestrian in time. The driver notices a reflector using pedestrian over three times as far as without a reflector.

Where are reflectors needed?

Most accidents in cities, often happen when crossing roads. Commonly going to school or work, or returning from there. Collisions may happen especially when it is twilight, foggy or raining. Streetlights are not effective enough to show a pedestrian, but reflectors improve pedestrians visibility even beneath streetlights. A powerful reflector seen from far away is needed on the street sides, because of the high speeds and long braking distances.

Where do you get them from?

In the nordic countries reflectors are already in retail sales. In many countries the largest distribution channels are promotional companies that other companies buy the reflectors from. They are donated to staff, stakeholders (like banks and insurance companies) or/and to customers at fairs, in the lobby or seminars. If you don't find them you can enquire them from us (www.coreflect.fi). We work with many partners around the world.
