Review on 🚧 REF DB Retroreflective Daybright Tape by Reflexite by Dan Chunn

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Crazily Reflective Excellent Tape

This tape has excellent reflective properties. I am very happy with it. In my community there are rings of blue reflective tape on the necks of fire hydrants. As I began examining the tape, I noticed that there was a few inches of excess tape on one end of one of the fire hydrants, so I cut it off to compare to what I found online. It has the appearance of snakeskin and reflects at a very narrow angle. So when I found a band that looked like my little pattern, I looked elsewhere. I'm glad I did. This Reflexite tape appears to reflect backlight from a much wider angle. It's also very bright. We placed a little around the edge of our license plate holder on the back of the car and it's incredibly noticeable. We're going to glue a strip to the very top of the car's tailgate glass. Even though our sunroof and glass are sloped, we tested it by simply putting a piece of tape on the glass and it still reflects very well directly behind the car. This is a first class product. I also expect it to last a long time - it seems very well made. It is also very flexible and can wrap objects easily. I'm not sure how well it will flex laterally, but in length it wraps even around very thin objects. The tape I received from the hydrant is very thick and that didn't happen. I highly recommend this product and paid full price for it and did NOT get it for free! (I hope to add some photos to this review at some point.)

Pros
  • UV and solvent resistant coatings provide durability for rough outdoor use on the sides and rear of tow trucks, trailers, school buses, farm equipment, automobiles and all manner of mobile and industrial equipment. Aggressive, pressure-sensitive adhesive backing for tough metal substrates.
Cons
  • Slightly torn
