Very reflective, wide tape. Short roll though.
This stuff is a little bit expensive considering how short the roll is. Still, I managed to tape up my bicycle. Not the entire frame mummy-style, but some of the key places at least. Despite the cost (or perhaps because of it) this is about the most reflective adhesive tape you can buy. I got the white tape, which reflects whatever color light hits it. It reflects very bright and is very easy to see when you hit it with a flashlight or headlights. 3M makes some good tape. BEFORE you stick this on, make sure you clean the surface by wiping any dirt, then using a windex-like product or rubbing alcohol or a mild soap (if you use soap make sure you rinse it VERY well). If there is any dirt or grease or soap on the surface, the tape will not stick. If your surface is clean, it will stick. This tape is great on metal, glass, and plastic. It is ok for painted or sealed wood. It is not so great at sticking to bare wood or any wet or dirty surface.

Shines bright and easy to use
Not a lot to type here on this one. It is a simple product that does exactly what it says. The tape is easy to cut to your desired size. The adhesive is strong and holds well. The reflective quality of this tape is quite good. Not super reflective but very good none-the-less. My purpose was for visiting Disneyland. My family goes frequently and I need to use a cane to assist me in walking. We usually go in the late afternoon and evening. Very often people don't see my cane and will accidentally kick it out from under me. I used the tape on the cane to make it reflective so that people will see it. Voila! Problem solved. :-)

works like stated but isn't all that great
The tape works as advertised. It has good reflectivity but only if an observer is looking directly along the path of a beam of light. I have tested it out and it is great if I place a flashlight next to my head or squat next to my car's headlights. It is not so great if I am elsewhere, such as sitting in the car. It does retain some reflectiveness in that scenario, which is better than nothing. However, it does not reflect if there are no sources of light somewhat near your line of sight. I bought this for my bicycle because I had seen photos of other people using it on their bikes. The photos were impressive but now I know it's because of the flash on the cameras being near the shutters. My opinion is that for bycicle safety at night, good lights are key. Reflective tape is OK but not completely dependable in situations such as a car with broken headlights, car coming at the wrong angle, ect. It is still somewhat useful on a bicycle, but I wouldn't recommend spending a lot of time making intricate patterns as I did on my spokes and other places. The tape has stuck onto my bike through a couple of drizzles but nothing more serious as I plan my outtings with the forecast in mind. The tape requires occasional cleaning to maintain reflectiveness if especially placed near the bicycle chains. I think this product would be more ideal for stationary objects or large objects that otherwise would have poor visibility at night without this product. I think some examples could be mailboxes or trailers, although I haven't tested it in such a way.

Used it on 2 strollers
I used this on 2 strollers to be seen better in the evening/night. The tape cuts into pieces easily with scissors. It didn't seem like I had alot of tape at first but when I was finished I still had enough leftover tape to probably do two more strollers. The tape is very thin and easy to apply, you just peel off the paper on the back of the tape to expose the adhesive. I didn't have an air bubble problem under that tape when putting it on my strollers but note that I only used pieces that were around 2 inches in length. I haven't used it long enough to tell how well it lasts. Also, be careful when putting the tape down on paint--when I went to lift up and adjust a piece that I had quickly put down, a little bit of my stroller's paint came off as the tape adheres very well. Here are 2 photos of one of my collapsed strollers to show how the tape reflects--one pic has my camera's flash turned off, the other pic has my camera's flash turned on

Makes things more visible
I purchased the silver reflective tape to make some things in my driveway and car port a little more visible while parking my vehicle at night. The product does an excellent job of this and even small strips of the reflective tape can be seen from a good distance, depending on how much light is being shined on it (even at oblique angles). As with all other adhesive-type stickers, the reflective tape will adhere really well to smooth hard objects after cleaning the object's surface before applying the tape (I use a product called Goo Gone as I found that it works well for this purpose, even though there are probably other similar products that can be used as effectively. Just remember to always test the cleaner to make sure it doesn't damage the surface - some will actually melt plastic!). I also had no adhesion problems with the tape being wrapped around a very small diameter pole as I had allowed for some of it to overlap so it could also stick to itself. I choose the silver, which actually has more of a "pearl-white" kind of appearance during the day, because I thought it would provide more visibility during lighted times (as opposed to the red colored tape). I put a very simple repetitive pattern of reflective tape on my Uncle's electric wheelchair and I believe it has achieved this.

I use flashing lights on my bikes, back and front, in the daytime on Toronto streets. At night you need additional visibility. The 3M Scotchlite reflective tape provides that. I also put the tape on reusable shopping bags because at night car drivers don’t seem to see pedestrians well, especially around intersections. Unfortunately, this roll of tape has not been available on Amazon for the last two years. And it has become difficult to find it elsewhere.

Seems authentic & reflects ok. Packaging in bubble wrapped but came crumpled. Luckily tape is micro-thin hence still creased but hope its levels after taping. Can report after 2wks crease came off after taping and reflection is superb so up from 3 to stars now.

Please be aware when ordering this that it may be coming all the way from the USA and therefore it might take a few weeks to arrive. At £8.99 for 36 inches it ain't cheap either! That works out at 25p per inch! It says apply to clean, smooth surfaces, glass, metal, smooth wood or painted surfaces. It certainly won't stick to fabric or rubber.
