In this video, we'll explain the purpose and benefits of using a light reflector in photography. Learn how to enhance your lighting with this essential tool!

When three mirrors are positioned together, light reflects back parallel to its incoming direction, a concept known as a corner reflector. Bicycle rear lights use this principle, consisting of many small cubes, with each set of three forming a corner reflector. This principle also applies to the reflective lights on roadside barriers. Additionally, spherical shapes inspired by cat's eyes have strong reflective qualities, leading to the development of reflective strips, vests, and road markings. These items require only a surface coating of tiny glass beads to achieve effective reflection.
