There's a host of ways to make yourself more visible to fellow cyclists, runners, motorists, dog walkers, commuters or anyone else out and about in the dark.
Clearly lights are a good thing, and high visibility, reflective clothing is another.
Studies have shown that fluorescent colours are easier to see than others; that is, they can be seen at a greater distance - so earlier - than other colours. The way fluorescent colours reflect invisible UV radiation in a spectrum means that they can be seen sometimes as much as 200% more clearly than other colours.
The best colours for visibility are yellow and orange. Drivers see these as associated with warning signs, which is why they get your attention (and probably why they were used for warning signs in the first place! Chicken, egg).
Whilst fluorescent clothing is great during daylight, it's not much cop at night as car lights don't have the necessary UV rays to make fluoro clothing glow. This is where the reflective material comes into its own as this does show up in vehicle lights.

As well as the jacket (seen below) we also have a choice of gilets; depending on your pocket preference you can pick the one for you.
