Reflectance is the percentage of light that is reflected either from the 
top of the atmosphere or from the surface. Reflectance values should 
thus be real values between 0 and 1. Your data have

Range of data:    min = 1  max = 28000

This means that they are expressed in digital (integer) numbers. Try 
transforming these DN into real numbers. IIRC, in the metadata, you have 
a variable QUANTIFICATION_VALUE. Divide your pixel values by that value 
to get real TOA reflectance values.

AFAIK, it also depends on whether you directly imported the original 
12-bit file, or possibly a modified, e.g. 16-bit, version.
