wouldn't recommend it tbh, at least here in the Netherlands these would deffo not fulfill rules for reflection, cause the lengthwise spoke reflectors aren't allowed and they have to be white/yellow
afaik it's just standardised for visual clarity here but it's probably best to look up the rules where you live if there are any
Yeah, I checked beforehand and spoke reflectors are entirely optional in the UK - you're only required to have a white front light, red back light, red rear reflector, and white or yellow pedal reflectors. Additional lights have to be white or red depending on if they're front or back, but it's completely free reign on additional reflectors. I think with @7bicycles advice I am going to mix these with a traditional spoke reflector just to be on the safe side visibility wise.
