I somehow broke my front spoke reflector and these things are all over AliExpress - are they as good as other reflectors or should I just get an ol' reliable?

I do prefer the idea of proper lights for visibility but I know I don't have the patience or organisation to replace the batteries every month or so, so I just stick with front and back lights.

A couple of years ago I just about got smoked by a bus at a four way stop. I had the right of way and everything, bro just completely did not see me. After that I decided to invest heavily in top tier lighting.
