I lost all my reflection material and I'm wondering if anything I should fashion around the house or buy in the store would work, .. maybe a small LED light on my hat?

I use a ball from a roll on deoderant, works well enough. A ping pong ball might also work.

Check the local hobby/crafts store, any old reflective tape will do and I'm sure they're bound to have some. Barring that, I'd give aluminum foil a shot, lol.
