I'm looking for some good "blue" reflective tape to rap around a light without spending a fortune. I either find DOT approved tape which is great but very expensive or places that want to sell large quantities. Anyone have any suggestions?
Where can I find blue reflective tape

Try marine supply stores. They'll most likely have SOLAS approved retro-reflective tape [silver in colour], but they may have something that works [i.e. blue]. Try West Marine [they're online], they're one of the biggest marine retailers.
I used Reflexite from Identi-tape.com
http://www.identi-tape.com/hi-intensity.htm
minimum about $12 worth.
They also have other brands (3M), widths, grades, etc.

Thank you for that link, louie.

And, to the Original Poster --
Notice this line, from that excellent Link:
The order of decreasing brightness is silver, gold, flour. yellow, fluor. orange, orange, red, green, and blue.
Just wanted to bring that to your attention.

I have some here at work- depending on how much you need, i could cut pieces to fit in an envelope and just mail you some. It's for decals and lettering, from 3M. PM and let me know...

Identi-Tape is *the* place for this kinda stuff!
Why blue? as a punitive measure to people who have HID headlights?
The high intensity is easier to cut perpendicularly due to the triangular pattern.
Engineer grade is more for arts and crafts. -I was supposed to get a tape splitter and split 6" in two, and apply to the back side of the vertical blinds.

I have used several blue reflective tapes on my work truck and bike. For my truck I used dark blue and red applied using 45 degree slants alternating. 2" wide tape. I have used several types but the brightest I have used is an Oralite product. AP1000. I got the last batch at https://www.tapedealer.com . Good luck. Stan

Do a search on Amazon.. Lots of choices and some nifty designs. Shipped and sold by Amazon, so you could return it if you don't like it. Some people seem to be getting knock-offs of the 3m brand.
