Retro-Reflective Clothing VS Luminous Clothing

Retro-reflective fabric is the main material for the function of reflective clothing, can reflect the light into original lighting when meeting the light at the poor light place.

The luminous wire is the main material of luminous clothing to make it emission, and the luminous wire is electroluminescence or LED luminous wire, which emissions under the control of the circuit.

Let’s know the details about retro-reflective fabric and luminous wire.

Luminous wire for luminous clothing

Luminous wire has good flexibility, which can produce brilliant colors and dynamic effects under the control of the circuit. The luminous wire is often placed at the neckline, cuffs, hem of clothing.

For the complicated luminous clothing, it is knitted the luminous wires into various shapes and patterns as the decoration of clothes.

Retro-reflective fabric for reflective clothing

The reflective part of reflective safety clothing is retro-reflective fabric, which is made of based fabric and high refractive index glass beads or micro-diamond shaped crystal lattice by the highly advanced technology to focus and post-process.

Advantages of retro-reflective fabric

The reflective fabric has reflective features, can reflect the distant direct light back to the luminous place whether day or night. And the intensity of the reflective lighting will get stronger or weaker according to the emission light. Of course, the certain thing is the reflective light must be stronger than the emission light, with high visibility and reminding effect.

Applications of retroreflective fabric

With the development of retroreflective fabric, the application has more possibilities. The reflective fabric is not only used for safety clothing, but also widely used for casual garments.

Of course, the reflective casual garment has no strict requirement in the reflective function, but casual reflective clothing asks more suitable and softer wearing experience, thus the reflective fabric for casual garment has weaker reflective features than the professional retro-reflective fabric tapes for safety clothing.
