Reflectors don't do a darn thing during the day, how many automotive reflectors do you see beaming back at you going down the road during the day? Perhaps if your lucky enough to get the sun to hit it at the right angle you might get a glare but it's only momentary as the position of the bike and eventually the sun changes cancelling out the effect entirely. At night when headlights hit the reflectors is when they work, and they don't work that great then either! Again go down a row of parked cars when it's night and see just how well those cars reflectors work...not very well you will notice, and that's the problem with reflectors on bikes too, they don't work all that well.
If riding during the day is what worries you then you're better off wearing neon (fluorescent) lime (which is a combo of yellow and green which works the best for combo day/dusk rides but neon yellow works best in direct daylight) top, that color stands out better than any other color with neon yellow coming in second. Then if you're really concerned then get a really bright rear tail light like the Serfas TL80 which for the money is the brightest tail light on the market...currently, and set the light to flash mode.
Lights are an active device, much more crucial than reflectors which are passive, rely heavily on lights and just have some reflective stuff to add to the effect of the lights.
