Now THAT is a great idea!

The OPs idea of shining a light on himself and relying on reflected light to alert motorists seems like a waste of lumens. Using direct light at drivers will be visible at much greater distance, and this BLT signal vest has several other benefits as well.

I'd never seen that; thanks for posting!
