Reflective Cones
Cat's-eye cones carry reflectors on the body, so they register under headlights at night. They are used for car park, facility yard, event and temporary routing.
What the Cat's-Eye Adds
On a standard cone, visibility comes from body colour and the reflective sleeve. Cat's-eye models add a reflector that returns a sharp, focused point of light under headlights, extending the distance at which the cone registers in poorly lit areas.
Dimly lit covered car parks, internal facility routes and events running after dark are where cat's-eye cones make the most difference. The same principle appears in cat's-eye speed bumps and road studs, which makes a consistent visibility scheme easy to build across a site.

Using Them with Other Cone Types
Cat's-eye cones are usually placed at the critical points of a line: start, end, turns and tapers. Standard cones along the run with cat's-eye cones at the critical points balances budget against visibility.
In windy and live-traffic areas, support them with cone weights or choose rubber base models. For night work, plan them alongside flashers and reflective tape.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a cat's-eye cone differ from a cone with reflective tape?
A reflective sleeve wraps the body and returns light across a broad surface. A cat's-eye gives a sharper, more focused point of reflection. Used together, both the line and the individual cone read clearly at night.
Where do they make sense?
In dimly lit covered car parks, on internal facility routes and during work that runs after dark. To balance budget, use standard cones along the run and cat's-eye cones at critical points such as turns and tapers.
What about tipping in wind?
In open, windy areas support them with cone weights or choose rubber base models. Cone weights are listed separately in the accessories group.
