I have a Garmin Varia tail light that I use on all rides. That tells me if there are cars behind me, that way I can be cautious (say if I'm approaching some rough pavement, a narrowing shoulder, etc.). At night I use a reflective vest (more like a belt with a an x-pattern in the back, and looks like suspenders in the front. In the colder temps my winter overshoes have a reflective strip on the back. I agree with what others stated above, ankle bands make a lot of sense given the motion. Those RedShift pedals looks effective as well.
