Great value
A bright set of excellent value lights. Bright, well-made and frugal in terms of power demands. Certainly recommend them for regular road use.

Solid functional urban lights
This was about the fifth set of these lights that I've bought: one front light sadly in the Thames, one worn out and three for the family. They're great for being seen and they slip easily into a pocket, but on unlit roads (or off-road) you should probably opt for one of the weapons-grade LEDs that throw out hundreds of lumens.

Great value light set
Having seen someone highly visible using daytime lights, we decided to get some. This package was very well priced and the lights work excellently - the front one is especially bright. We use bar bags on our drop handlebar tourers and you need to get the Cateye front fork bracket to fit the front light - Wiggle does not seem to sell this.

small but powerful
really good. small but powerful. probably not enough for serious off roading at night but good enough to get you home.

Front light fell apart whilst on the road
Front light fell apart whilst on the road front part just disintegrated

Good, but brittle front light
Rear light: rugged, reliable and fine for commuting. The battery lasts for plenty of time. Shame there's no usb charge but apart from that - a good commuting rear light.
Front light: this is very brittle. It has a tendency to switch itself on in your pocket and kill the battery. The holder broke whilst going over a pothole and the light fell off the bike and smashed on the road.

Happy with those lights
Needed new lights for a new bike and they certainly do the job. Easy to fit east to use and they look good. No complaints from me

Small but packs a punch.
Great output from both lights, easy to mount and quick detachable when you want. Decent price too ;)

Great light for commuter cycling
A great commuter light to enable you to be seen on street lit roads. I’ve since bought a second set, having two on the front with one flashing and one constant.
Easy to fit with a simple plastic bolt system – I’m often switching them between bikes and the front lights are easy to remove from the bracket/holder, but the rear is a little more tricky.
The rear light also comes with a clip attachment and can be clipped to a backpack / jacket.
Great light if you want to be seen and great value too (cheaper to buy as a set rather than individually)

Good Value, nice and bright
Brought for my son to use on his new MTB. Easy to fit and very bright, great value at this price

Rear light is good, font light is okay
As up there ^^, the rear light will catch the eye, the front light is okay for flashing and letting people know you're about.
If you're after lighting up a dark road you'll need to spend a bit more than this.

great commuter light
good bright lights, easy to use. Have been using cateye Omni lights for years - these are much brighter than my previous set. Very visible.

Excellent budget lights for city riding
These sit somewhere between 'be seen' units that alert drivers to your presence but don't illuminate the road ahead, and full blown hunting lights. Perfect for city riding on flash mode as people can easily see you coming, but the front light is more than adequate for brief stints along unlit roads - although I wouldn't want to rely on it out in the countryside at night.
They've been left out in the rain without problems, are easy to remove, easy to operate with gloved hands and are an excellent price. Battery life seems really good too.

Great Product, Super Price and Fantastic Service
5 Star all the way.
The service received was fantastic. Super fast delivery.
And the lights are great providing light on the bike!

Does what it's supposed to
As far as lights go they are very good and within everyone's budget I would imagine

Good value lighting set
You will be seen with this light, but it's not for seeing. On urban routes, this is very clear but not ridiculously bright like some of the newer front lights. They are a 'go to' lightset.
Lightweight, small and easy to fit, quick and fast removal of units if leaving the bike locked.
Would have been 5 star if the front light had not failed after a few weeks. Great exchange service from wiggle, fast turnaround.

Cheap but flimsy
Aside from the rear light not working the product overall is quite plasticky. Obviously, it's made from the stuff but it's cheap feeling, lightweight and feels breakable.
Wiggle on the other hand were brilliant. No quibbles. Very speedy refund. Good job guys.

Light and Bright
This set (EL135 & Omni5) is particularly good value when purchased together. Light weight and very bright.....just what you need. One problem, the rear light was clipped into a Topeak seat pack, not as securely as I thought and has jumped out and escaped! The next one will be tethered with an additional rubber band. Not ideal but effective. I have previously had a similar problem with an earlier front light, hence the only 4 star rating.

Not too bright, but not bottom of the class.
The rear light is ok. I have it mounted on my backpack on flashy mode, and it does the job.
The front light is another story. If you have a main light, and want this to act just as a flashy reminder that you are there, then fine. As a main light, then NO. Not that good at all. OK on main roads that are already street-lit, but on unlit country roads, no way.

Nice Light Set
These lights are very light to keep on the bike in case of a sudden change in the weather or caught out later then expected.
The rear is super bright and has a fastener that allows for none round bar attachment.
The front provides a bright light to be seen and in low light to see, not bright enough for very dark country lane riding.

Good value lights
Bought these to replace the failed lights on my no2 bike. Lights are bright, and quick and easy to fit. Can't comment on battery life because I have not used them much yet

Lights
Fantastic product, seemed as though it took only seconds to put batteries in (supplied) and set up on bike.
Really pleased with the lighting arrangement.
Good value price wise in the market place.

Good set of lights
Have bought Cateye lights before for my other bikes and am not disappointed with these
Give a great light for commuter cycling
My only concern is how waterproof they will be, would like to see a seal around where you open / close to insert batteries otherwise would have rated excellent

Great "be seen" light set
Great value as a "be seen" light set . Easy to fix , easy to remove.
Several modes from steady on to flashing . Battery life seems ok and works after use in the rain

Good value!
Cat Eye appear to make good products - a bit above the rest in design and build quality
The lamps switch on or off by holding the button down for 3 seconds. Then, when switched back on, they are in the same lighting mode - much better than scrolling through to find the 'off'', which many others expect you to do
The front light is still not bright enough to be able to SEE safely at night - I think you have to go to Li-ion batteries for that (very much more expensive). The rear lamp has some interesting 'jiggle' modes, one of which seems OK for telling motorists that you are there
The mounting is easy - a variation of a tie-wrap. But it does make the lamps easy to nick

Superb lights
I wanted a set of lights that were durable, light, and bright and these fit the bill perfectly. Fellow cyclists have commented on their brightness - particularly when in flashing mode. The reviews were positive and for good reason.

Bright, secure to fit
The lights are brighter than I expected. Not enough to light the way on a dark road (I guess, haven't tried it) but highly visible to make you seen.
