In addition to the lights, the out and rearward surfaces of my seatstays of my daily rig are done in red reflective tape from seatpost to axle. I also have 4" to 6" (depending on location) strips of black reflective tape (it's a black bike) on either side of the fork, and on all three of the main tubes of the frame.

I've got plenty of nighttime viability without looking like a dork during the day. My stuff blends so well that you won't spot it during the day unless you actually look. One other thing of note, I don't use plastic CPSC reflectors because they break too easily (this bike is still used offroad from time to time and I hate trail litter) and they don't have the surface area of my system
