No need to light up something you don't have a possible collision course with, blind yaself for nothing is all it'd do. 3Ms retroreflective sewable tapes are definately superior, it's all we'll use.
About that guy wearing reflective robes. I saw it some 40 years ago when a friend and I sneaked in to the annual Easter Pagent of the IAM cult on the south side of Mt. Shasta. The man playing Jesus had the robes on and each time he said something that supported their beliefs he was hit with the sunbeam and blazed in Glory. For an effect like that the cult would be willing to buy an entire bolt or roll of the material. And I heard of an English jogger with reflective sweats who was attacked by an owl.
