What Are Road Cats' Eyes?
Road cat’s eyes are also known as road studs or reflective raised markers. These small devices are installed on roads to enhance lane visibility and traffic guidance, especially at night. They are glued onto the road surface or embedded into the ground and work by reflecting headlights to drivers, creating a visible line that helps with lane alignment and navigation.
Some cat’s eyes use reflective lenses that shine when light hits them, while others are solar-powered and glow with built-in LED lights at night. Both types are designed to improve safety, but solar ones are especially useful in very dark or remote areas where extra lighting is needed.

Road Cat’s Eye Working Principle
JACKWIN road cat’s eyes are simple in design but highly effective on the road, and its working principle is divided into two types:
- Reflection principle, involving JACKWIN reflective road cat’s eyes. Cat’s eyes feature two glass reflectors angled to catch and return car headlights. Because of this, you can easily see the lane lines and road edges even in rain, fog, and darkness.
- Illumination principle, involving JACKWIN solar LED road cat’s eyes. It adopts LED luminescence technology, built in electronic board, rechargeable battery and solar panel, and also controls day and night operation through light-sensitive switches to achieve energy-saving.
Solar Road Cat Eyes - Construction and Components
Solar cat eyes are made up of two main parts: a cast aluminum shell and a built-in circuit board. The circuit board is produced by engraving the designed circuit onto a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) to form the electrical pathways.
Once the circuit is complete, various components such as LEDs and rechargeable batteries are assembled onto the board, ensuring efficient operation of the solar road stud. This design combines durability with energy efficiency, using solar power to charge the system’s battery and ensure long-lasting performance.

Applications
JACKWIN road cat’s eyes are used globally to make roads safer for drivers and pedestrians. Whether guiding traffic at night or slowing down cars near schools, these cat’s eyes play a major safety role. They are reliable, easy to spot, and trusted in many different environments.
Road cat eyes are often used to delineate lane boundaries on both highways and urban roads. They ensure that drivers stay within their lanes, especially at night or in poor visibility conditions.
Reflective road studs are placed along the centerline of roads to separate opposing lanes of traffic. This visual barrier helps reduce the risk of head-on collisions by guiding drivers safely between lanes.
Road cat’s eyes are frequently installed along the edges of roads, especially in rural or unlit areas. They help drivers stay aware of road boundaries and prevent vehicles from drifting off the road in low-visibility situations.
On sharp turns, mountain passes, or sections of roads with poor visibility, road cat eyes offer increased guidance. Their reflective properties enhance the driver’s ability to navigate difficult areas safely during nighttime driving or inclement weather.
In tunnels or bridges, where clear lane markings are crucial for safe navigation, reflective road studs help maintain visibility. They are often used to indicate the path of traffic and provide a reliable guide even when artificial lighting is inadequate.
JACKWIN road cat’s eyes are built with cutting-edge reflective technology and durable materials that guarantee long-lasting visibility and durability.
With proper installation and maintenance, JACKWIN road cat’s eyes can last 5 to 10 years, offering long-term durability and cost savings.
Our standard production time for custom road studs is typically between 15-20 days after receiving your deposit. For your convenience, we also keep a range of standard cat eyes in stock, ready for immediate shipment. Place your order today and enjoy fast delivery!
