Reflective vinyl for your stuff

for a video.

for one seller.

Scotchlite 680 is black adhesive vinyl. Put it on your bike or other stuff, and it's black in normal light. When it's hit at night by headlights or flashlight, it's that glowing white reflective stuff.

I've seen this on police cars, and they look unmarked during the day, reflective cop cars at night.

Not everyone carries a flashlight at Burning Man, so it may not show up on your bike or backpack at night if whoever is running you down has no lights on. Being lighted is your best defense, but this stuff looks like it would be additional safety for those of us using headlights on their bikes.

Pleasepleaseplease, don't walk out on the playa in black clothes with no lights.

I use the black on my motorcycle helmets. Works great at night. Pretty neat stuff.

Allegedly this was originally used on the Star Wars lightsabers before they decided to rotoscope them.
