Radar reflectors are devices attached to boats to make them more visible on radar. They consist of metal pieces that reflect radar signals, making smaller boats more visible to larger ones. Reflectors are available in different styles and designs, and it is important to mount them high on the mast for maximum visibility. A radar […]
Radiator reflectors reduce heat loss through walls, increasing efficiency and reducing heating costs. They can be purchased or made at home with reflective film, metal, or cardboard wrapped in foil. Insulation can also be added. Free or discounted reflectors may be available through energy efficiency programs. A free energy audit can identify other energy issues. […]
When choosing a spotlight, consider its use, brightness, energy consumption, and durability. Portable units are lighter but less bright than stationary ones. Higher brightness usually means higher cost and energy consumption. Durability is important as both portable and stationary units can fall. There are many different uses for a spotlight and, therefore, many factors to […]
Retroreflectors reflect light back to its source and can be made of glass, mirrors, paint, tape, or arrays. They have many road and non-road applications, including lunar missions and boat safety. Corner cube retroreflectors are commonly used on highways. A retroreflector reflects incoming light back to its source. The light is reflected parallel to the […]
