Reflex Reflector - 8RA 004 412-021 HELLA

Almost all car owners are worried about the safety of their vehicle, and especially about their own safety. To minimize traffic accidents, many devices and elements have been invented, one of which is special reflectors on cars.

The operation of a reflex reflectors

HELLA brand Reflex Reflector are especially useful at night or in conditions of poor visibility - during fog, heavy rain or snowfall. In such situations, a moving vehicle is not easy to see, and a parked one even more so. The auto reflector helps drivers in their cars to see another road user at a distance of about 150 meters. This helps the driver to orientate himself in time and make the required maneuver to avoid a collision - slow down, make a detour, and so on.

Light reflectors, as the name implies, reflect the light falling on them in a direction of 180 ° - back to the source. The work of these elements is based on the laws of optics: the plastic from which the components are made has a huge number of concave prisms of microscopic size. Due to this, light falling on any of the faces is reflected twice - from the first, and then the second. In both cases, this occurs at an angle of 90°, whereby the light is sent back in a parallel direction.
