Good reflective rod tape, plenty of it and wrapped zebra fashion down the tips. Trying to see the tips or bites for that matter at night is a pain in the arse unless you have the tape.

Battery powered tip lights and isotopes were the cause of numerous crack offs for me until I saw sense and went with reflective tape and a decent headlight like a Silva L1.
