Flexible 1404 SOLAS Shapes for Bikes - Beta Test

I am beta testing a new product. Small shapes cut from a flexible Oralite SOLAS 1404 material. I like this film because it is the brightest reflective tape that I have ever worked with and it is very flexible and moldable (pliable). Because it is so bright (over 1000 candelas) it takes only small amounts to be seen great distances. It also has an incredibly strong adhesive. So for a bike it can be placed on the wheel between the spokes or on any other area of the bike. Because it is so flexible it can even be tabbed around spokes. It will wrap around items as small as a pencil with virtually no lifting. I am just wanting some opinions on the little SOLAS shapes. I have some samples cut and can send them out to anyone willing to test them. My email is steve@reflectivestore.com . I would just need your name and address. Thanks. Steve (Reflective Inc.)

Are they REALLY that bright? That looks like high beams on an SUV.

Maybe he shined the highbeams from his SUV onto the reflectors.

They are very bright . The photo is just an iPhone with the flash. It only takes a small piece to really light up.
