A reflective road stud, also known as a cat’s eyes reflective road stud or a raised pavement marker, is a device that is installed on the road surface to provide clear, durable, and highly visible lane markings and guidance, especially in low-light or adverse weather conditions.
At Skyhall, we provide two main types of reflective road studs for different scenarios. One is the passive stud with plastic or glass reflective beads embedded in plastic panels, simply reflecting headlights. The other is the active stud, containing LEDs powered by solar panels and batteries, making them even more visible and capable of flashing in specific patterns. Customers can make a free selection according to their practical needs.
All our reflective road studs are made of aluminium alloy, single cast with an integral shaft. It offers a lightweight yet durable solution, providing corrosion resistance and stability for long-lasting and reliable road safety installations.

Reflective Sheets
Compared to normal road studs, reflective studs are visible in dark environments. Reflective sheets significantly enhance safety and visibility by efficiently reflecting light or flashing constantly with the support of solar power. This makes them indispensable for road signage, markings, and applications requiring clear guidance in low-light conditions.
Durable Housing
By utilizing a lightweight and corrosion-resistant aluminum housing, reflective road studs achieve exceptional durability and stability, guaranteeing reliable performance and a longer lifespan in demanding road conditions.
Color Coding
They’re available in various standard colors, like white, red, amber, yellow, green, and blue to convey specific messages to drivers. For example, green studs mark the edge of the main carriageway at lay-bys and slip roads.
Waterproof Design
These sealed units are impervious to water, dirt, ice, and extreme temperatures, with an IP68 waterproof rating ensuring the internal optics remain clean and fully functional.
Variety of Types
Two types of reflective road studs are available, passive studs and Solar-powered LED studs. The former type relies solely on reflection. The latter one contain a small solar panel, battery, and LED light. They can provide constant or flashing illumination without an external power source.
Reflective Studs: Passive devices. They only work when light is shone directly on them (from car headlights). They are reliable, have no batteries, and require no maintenance, but their visibility depends on the vehicle’s lights.
Solar-Powered LED Studs: Active devices. They contain LEDs that emit their own light, making them visible from much farther away and in conditions where headlights are less effective (e.g., fog, rain). They are more expensive but offer superior visibility.
Lifespan varies by type and traffic volume but typically ranges from 2 to 10 years. Key factors include:
Traffic Volume and Speed: Higher volumes and speeds cause more wear.
Snow Plow Usage: A major cause of damage in snowy regions. “Snow-plowable” studs with low profiles and strong anchors are available.
Road Surface Type: Rough surfaces cause more abrasion.
Quality of Installation: Proper surface preparation is critical for longevity.
