Color, you ignorant limey. So why isn't red, yellow, etc as easy to see?Â* If you wear a bright red tshirt, you aren't as visible as wearing a hi-vis jacket.Â* Does it convert all the wavelengths into one or something? It's fluorescent. It converts ultraviolet (especially prevalent in the dusk) into visible light. Presumably mainly available in certain colours. Some, intended to be used at night, have strips that include glass or plastic beads that reflect light (from torches or car headlamps) back in the direction the light source is. -- Max Demian |
