I have used reflectors designed to be mounted on post or other obs-
tructions near a road, around here people put them on the post box
post, on telephone and power poles that may be near the road way.
The reflector is about 70mm in diameter and has two mounting holes
in the supporting frame to mount it to a post or other backing. I have
purchased them in a package of 6 at the local DIY stores (Home
Depot) for about USD 6-8/package.

I recall being in the UK and there were similar DIY stores there so I
assume that they sell these things in some similar form. Here they
are sold in white (transparent) red and blue reflectors, again as was
pointed out, purchase the white, that way you can use it with any
colour device without problems.
