Meanwhile, the Omni 5 rear-facing light boasts five LEDS and offers 360-degree visibility. The HL-EL135 OptiCube lens delivers wider visibility while the bright 150 candlepower white front light features 3 LEDs. You’ll get plenty of illumination from both of these lights. (Image credit: CatEye) CatEye HL-EL135 & Omni 5: performance Once you’ve got the batteries inserted both lights feel solid, chunky but not so heavy as you wouldn’t want to have them attached to your cycle helmet. The joins are also reassuringly secure to avoid any worry about rain or moisture getting inside. Another bonus with this lighting bundke is, save for the odd screw, it’s predominantly plastic, which reduces the risk of corrosion and your lights subsequently failing.Īs with anything plastic, you do need to exercise some caution when prising the halves of the lights apart, but everything clicks back into place nicely. These come supplied as part of the package. The rear light needs a coin to crack open the case and this holds two AAA batteries instead. The front light is made of two halves and you need to slide one half and separate it from the base in order to insert two AA batteries. The plastic helmet mounting bracket is also useful if you’d rather have a light attached to your head than your bike. Equally, this mounting system makes it really easy for you to remove them when needed, which is worth doing if you’re parked up somewhere that might make them a tempting target for thieves.
